Trace Gases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Trace gases include all those gaseous components in the atmosphere that – by virtue of their low concentrations – do not affect the bulk composition of air. This makes it convenient to quantify the local abundance of a trace gas by its molar mixing ratio (the chemical amount fraction). If reference is made to dry air, the influence of the variability of water vapor on the bulk composition of air is eliminated, and the molar mixing ratio becomes independent of changes in pressure and temperature. On the other hand, the presence of radicals, such as the ubiquitous hydroxyl radical (OH), are customarily reported in terms of number concentration, although radicals undoubtedly also represent trace gases.
