Atmospheric Chemistry entails the study of the chemical composition of and transformations in the atmosphere. It concerns both trace gases and particulate matter (PM), and encompasses all regions of the atmosphere, from remote, "clean" upper tropospheric regions to surface, urban, "polluted" regions. Topics range from the chemical composition of PM to its effects on climate, from the ozone layer to ozone as an air pollutant, and from man-made to naturally emitted volatile organic compounds (VOC) and their chemistry in the atmosphere. Research in this area can involve making laboratory and/or field measurements, analyzing data, and conducting computer simulations.
