Sommario/riassunto

This text presents information on the role of alkanes in the chemistry of the atmosphere. It 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.
