Abstract
In the last few chapters we have seen that an important factor for climatic change is the composition of the atmosphere. This is something we actually learned beginning in the first chapter, when it was evident that the differences in the planetary environment were determined both by the distance from the sun and the chemical composition of the atmosphere. It is then written in the stars that an atmospheric physicist must deal with atmospheric chemical processes. In the last ten years or so the problems related to the ozone hole and the pollution of our cities have made this topic extremely popular.
