Features: This book is a national key textbook for the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" of general higher education in China. The book is divided into eight chapters, including the composition and evolution of the Earth's atmosphere, fundamental principles of chemical dynamics and photochemistry, photochemistry in the stratosphere, photochemistry in the troposphere, atmospheric aerosols, cloud and precipitation chemistry, the cycling, transport, and removal of chemical components in the troposphere, and atmospheric chemistry and global change. This textbook is designed for undergraduate students with a background in atmospheric science, assuming that readers have a basic understanding of atmospheric physics. Since most of the target readers have not taken university-level chemistry courses, the book includes fundamental chemistry knowledge in Chapter 2 and other relevant chapters. This book is a professional textbook for master's students in atmospheric science at universities and colleges, and can also be used as a learning and reference material for undergraduate and graduate students in related fields, as well as professionals working in atmospheric science and atmospheric environment.
