Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the
Alkanes as an authoritative source of information on the role
of alkanes in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The book includes
the properties of the alkanes and haloalkanes, as well as a
comprehensive review and evaluation of the existing literature on
the atmospheric chemistry of the alkanes and their major
atmospheric oxidation products, and the various approaches now used
to model the alkane atmospheric chemistry. Comprehensive coverage
is given of both the unsubstituted alkanes and the many
haloalkanes. All the existing quality measurements of the rate
coefficients for the reactions of OH, Cl, O(3P), NO3, and O3 with
the alkanes, the haloalkanes, and their major oxidation products
have been reviewed and evaluated. The expert authors then give
recommendations of the most reliable kinetic data. They also review
the extensive literature on the mechanisms and rates and modes of
photodecomposition of the haloalkanes and the products of
atmospheric oxidation of the alkanes and the haloalkanes, and make
recommendations for future use by atmospheric scientists. The
evaluations presented allow an extrapolation of the existing
kinetic and photochemical data to those alkanes and haloalkanes
that are as yet unstudied.

The current book should be of special interest and value to the
modelers of atmospheric chemistry as a useful input for development
of realistic modules designed to simulate the atmospheric chemistry
of the alkanes, their major oxidation products, and their influence
on ozone and other trace gases within the troposphere.
