Springer, Praxis, 2006, 595 pp.
There is an increasing interest in studies of atmospheric aerosols in the context of.
their impact on the formation of the climate, chemical heterogeneous reactions in the.
atmosphere affecting in particular environmental quality, and problems of visibility.
and health issues.Acknowledgements.
