This book describes the basic ideas about the chemical composition of the atmospheric aerosol, as well as to summarize our present knowledge of the environmental effects of aerosol particles. After discussing the necessary bases of aerosol physics and methodology, different formation mechanisms producing particles of different size and composition are presented including vapor condensation, burning and high temperature processes and surface disintegration. Separate chapters are devoted to water soluble inorganic species, heavy and other metals as well as to carbonaceous particles. This volume, considered as an introduction to the subject, is useful for graduate students and research workers in earth and environmental science as well as for all educated persons interested in atmospheric environment.
