Atmospheric chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of the chemical composition and reactions occurring in the Earth's atmosphere. It aims to understand the complex interactions between different chemical compounds present in the atmosphere, such as gases, aerosols, and pollutants. Atmospheric chemistry plays a crucial role in understanding the impacts of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and industrial processes, on air quality, climate change, and environmental health. Researchers in this field use a combination of laboratory experiments, field measurements, computer modeling, and remote sensing techniques to study the composition and behavior of atmospheric constituents.
