Chemicals
in the Atmosphere: Solubility, Sources and Reactivity
Peter
Fogg and James Sangster (editors)
John Wiley & Sons, 2003 (ISBN 0-471-98651-8)
This
book—the
outcome of a project of the Commission on Solubility Data—follows
discussions between members of this commission and the Commission
on Atmospheric Chemistry extending over several years. The
book provides a broad survey and theoretical basis of many
aspects of the behavior of stable and unstable chemicals in
the atmosphere. There is special emphasis on heterogeneous
processes at all levels of the atmosphere. Modern techniques
of investigation and of modeling such processes are discussed
and many experimental data relating to interaction of gases
with cloud droplets and with surfaces of solid particles are
included. There is a detailed account of theoretical and practical
aspects of Henry’s law constants, including their relationship
to infinite dilution activity coefficients. Experimental values
have been compiled and evaluated for dissolution in pure water
and in some cases sea water of 15 inorganic and 153 organic
stable compounds.
