Best books to learn Atmospheric chemistry and air pollution, in order
Air quality is a chemistry problem: smog is not emitted, it is manufactured in the atmosphere out of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons by sunlight, and the same reasoning explains stratospheric ozone loss and the behaviour of aerosols. This path separates the popular accounts from the textbooks deliberately, because the jump between them is large and unsigned.
