Thoroughly restructured and updated with new findings and new features

The Second Edition of this internationally acclaimed text presents the latest developments in atmospheric science. It continues to be the premier text for both a rigorous and a complete treatment of the chemistry of the atmosphere, covering such pivotal topics as:

• Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphere
• Formation, growth, dynamics, and properties of aerosols
• Meteorology of air pollution
• Transport, diffusion, and removal of species in the atmosphere
• Formation and chemistry of clouds
• Interaction of atmospheric chemistry and climate
• Radiative and climatic effects of gases and particles
• Formulation of mathematical chemical/transport models of the atmosphere

All chapters develop results based on fundamental principles, enabling the reader to build a solid understanding of the science underlying atmospheric processes. Among the new material are three new chapters: Atmospheric Radiation and Photochemistry, General Circulation of the Atmosphere, and Global Cycles. In addition, the chapters Stratospheric Chemistry, Tropospheric Chemistry, and Organic Atmospheric Aerosols have been rewritten to reflect the latest findings.

Readers familiar with the First Edition will discover a text with new structures and new features that greatly aid learning. Many examples are set off in the text to help readers work through the application of concepts. Advanced material has been moved to appendices. Finally, many new problems, coded by degree of difficulty, have been added. A solutions manual is available.

Thoroughly updated and restructured, the Second Edition of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for researchers in environmental engineering, meteorology, chemistry, and the atmospheric sciences.

Thorough and rigorous coverage of the underlying physics and chemistry of air pollution. Based on Dr. Seinfeld's best-selling 1986 book, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics of Air Pollution, this new book explains the movement and behavior of pollutants in air, showing how it effects global change.

Recent research on the impact of air pollution on global climate.
-- Topics such as mass transfer aspects, often overlooked in other books.
