A comprehensive overview on the methods used to measure nitrogen oxides and acids in the troposphere is given and difficulties and artefacts associated with the use of the techniques for measurements in urban and mega city environments is illustrated. State-of-the-art methods for the measurement of OH and HO2 radicals are reviewed and recently recognised difficulties, in particular with the measurement of HO2 radicals, are highlighted. Other contributions to the book cover our present understanding of the gas, aqueous and particulate/aerosol phase atmospheric degradation chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under NOx conditions typical of rural, urban and mega city environments. Examples of measurements of NOx and VOCs in the atmospheres of these environments are given, in particular for the megacities Cairo and Beijing, in conjunction with modelling studies which attempt to simulate the field observations using state-of-the art knowledge on the chemistry of the VOCs and radical levels.  . 410 0$aNATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security,$x1874-6519 606 $aHazardous substances 606 $aHazardous waste site remediation 615 0$aHazardous substances. 615 0$aHazardous waste site remediation. 676 $a628.42 701 $aBarnes$b Ian$0729282 701 $aRudzinski$b Krzysztof J$01758163 712 02$aNATO Emerging Security Challenges Division. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437948203321 996 $aDisposal of dangerous chemicals in urban areas and mega cities$94196308 997 $aUNINA
