Scientific Journals

Some of the key scientific journals containing articles related to atmospheric chemistry and air pollution are:

Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association

Atmospheric Environment (Search for Atmospheric Environment)

Environmental Science and Technology

Journal of Geophysical Research

In addition to the above journals, Science and Nature occasionally have articles related to climate change.

Organizations Concerned with Air Pollution

There are numerous organizations that are concerned with air pollution issues. In the United States two of the most important regulatory agencies are:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

The California Air Resources Board (CARB)
