Chemistry in the Urban Atmosphere: Faraday Discussion 189 (Faraday Discussions, Volume 189)

This volume focuses on addressing both the key questions and the over-arching issues related to understanding chemistry in the urban atmosphere. While urban atmospheres vary considerably in composition, they are distinguished clearly from most rural and all remote atmospheres by their high primary pollutant loadings and relatively short timescales for reactions. Much of the recent research on urban air pollution has focused upon cities as a source of air pollutants to the regional and global atmosphere. This ignores the huge importance of urban air pollution in the context of human health, and the associated policy and scientific relevance of urban atmospheric chemistry studies to compliance with limit values for secondary pollutants (e.g. NO2 and particulate matter) and quantifying personal exposure to air pollution. With the increasing urbanisation of human populations, this subject is of ever-greater importance.--
