From the Back Cover
Dr. Jack Fishman is a world-renowned scientific expert who has made some startling discoveries in the course of his research. Now he, along with journalist Robert Kalish, tackles today's most compelling environmental threats: the triple menace of high levels of ozone pollution, global warming, and the erosion of the ozone layer.
From Publishers Weekly
Three elements of global change, stress the authors, are 1) depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere, 2) climate warming caused by the build-up of carbon dioxide and 3) increasing concentrations of ozone in the lower atmosphere. The first should be the most readily controllable since it is the only one that involves a chemical entirely made by humans (chlorofluorocarbon). Ozone in the lower atmosphere, long regarded as a regional problem, is increasing two to three times faster than the rising levels of CO; it threatens forests, food crops and our health. Fishman, an atmospheric chemist, and environmental journalist Kalish explain the chemistry of air pollution and the origins of ozone. A significant source is nitrogen oxide emissions from motor vehicles, which serve as a reservoir for ozone; these must be curtailed to solve the ozone problem. The authors discuss weather forecasting and suggest that an early sign of global warming may be the changeability of the weather--more heat and drought, more extremes. They present a plan of action to stem, if not control, the greenhouse effect. This is a fine companion volume to Michael Oppenheimer and Robert Boyle's Dead Heat. Illustrated.
