It examines how Man's activities have had a detrimental effect on the climate, and how measures may be implemented in order to modify these activities. The book progresses through chapters covering the principles of atmospheric science and the current problems of air pollution at the urban, regional and global scales, to the tools and applications used to understand air pollution.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Handbook of Atmospheric Science\u003c\/i\u003e offers an excellent o\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"...a highly impressive text....there is a wealth of information that can help understand the way our atmosphere works.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBES Teaching Ecology Group Newsletter, September 2003\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Overall, the editors and authors are to be congratulated for producing a comprehensive, well-referenced and current book on atmospheric science suitable for teaching, industrial and research environments.
