Summary:

Chemistry and Physics of Stratospheric Ozone will provide an in-depth account of chemical and physical properties of stratospheric ozone, which will be valuable to a wide audience.The research of the last decade has produced as many arguments as answers, and the author provides a good account of both the accepted and provocative resolutions.* Focuses on the important aspects of stratospheric ozone that are needed to understand most of the literature* Provides extensive discussion of the natural and human-induced changes to the ""ozone layer""* Includes homework probl
