This volume provides a comprehensive view of the chemical, dynamical,
and radiative processes that affect ozone and other chemicals in the
stratosphere and mesosphere. Over recent decades our understanding of
these processes has increased dramatically. The discovery of the
Antarctic ozone hole has shown that human activities can lead to major
changes in our environment. The science of the ozone layer and its
interactions with halogenated chemical compounds are the primary
subjects of this book. This is an updated and expanded edition of a
highly praised work.
