Module overview

The chemical and photochemical processes that occur in the atmosphere at different altitudes have profound and fundamental effects on life, and on the planet. This module examines atmospheric structure, circulation, processes and chemistry, inorganic and organic air pollutants and their health effects, and atmospheric evolution and change - culminating in today's "Anthropocene Atmosphere".
