Atmospheric chemistry can be considered to have originated in 1931 when Sydney Chapman formulated a chemical mechanism for the formation of stratospheric ozone. The foundations of understanding tropospheric chemistry were laid in the early 1950s by Arie Haagen-Smit, who described ozone formation as resulting from a reaction involving volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen
Dr. Kanan Purkayastha, a former university teacher and a visiting research scholar at the atmospheric chemistry research group in Kyoto University, Japan, is currently working as a Specialist Advisor to the UK Local Government organization. In his talk, Kanan will present how tropospheric chemistry contributes to climate change. First, the structure and composition of the atmosphere and urban air pollution chemistry will be discussed. Second, the role of hydroxyl radical as a detergent of the troposphere and my own research study will be discussed. Finally, He will explain and interpret the greenhouse effect and global warming in relation to tropospheric chemistry
