This book summarises and integrates more than a decade of atmospheric chemistry research,
carried out under the auspices of IGAC. It is part of the IGBP Book Series (see
IGBP web site) being written by each of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme core projects. During the period under consideration, great progress has been made in the science, computing, modeling and observational techniques; methods have also improved. Suggestions for the highest priority research for the next decade are made. The volume was written by leaders in the field of atmospheric chemistry research, and includes important information regarding impacts on the environment reinforced by solid scientific results. The book is available through the publisher's web-site: Springer-Verlag
