  • Transport and Chemical Transformation of Pollutants in the Troposphere

    An Overview of the Work of EUROTRAC

    Edited by Peter Borrell, Patricia M. Borrell ...
    Series Book 1 - Transport and Chemical Transformation of Pollutants in the Troposphere
    A major environmental concern is the increasing burden on all scales of photo-oxidants, acidifying substances and potential nutrients in the troposphere. These lead to episodes of summer smog, and appreciable damage to eco-systems both on land and at sea. Underlying the environmental effects is the complex scientific problem of linking the man-made and biological emissions to the myriad chemical ... Read more
