Location
1315 Chemistry Building
Description
John J. Orlando, National Center for Atmospheric Research.
The Earth’s lower atmosphere contains an array of hydrocarbon compounds of all shapes, sizes and functionalities, including saturated and unsaturated species, as well as those containing oxygen and halogens. Emissions from natural (mostly vegetative) sources provide the major source on a global scale, but emissions from human activity are clearly of importance in and near populated areas.
