Atmospheric chemistry is the scientific study of chemical reactions and processes that occur in Earth's atmosphere, governing the composition, behavior, and transformation of gases, particles, and aerosols in the air we breathe. This field examines how natural emissions from volcanoes, forests, and oceans combine wi…
