Preface

Twenty-five years have passed since atmospheric chemistry was established as one of the fundamental sciences deeply relevant to global change. During this period, atmospheric chemistry has been grappling with many important atmospheric environmental issues such as ozone depletion, ozone/oxidant pollution, aerosol/PM2.5 pollution, atmosphere–climate interaction, and others from a fundamental point of view of biogeochemical cycles of atmospheric trace components. Giving a “meaning” to academic studies targeting such environmental issues is an integrated point of view for interpreting a cause–effect relationship including human activities, and atmospheric chemistry has been developed with such a holistic aspect of view. Based on this view, many excellent textbooks on atmospheric chemistry have been published in the last 10 years or so. Meanwhile, what is necessary to get a feeling that a system composed of various elements is “fully understood” and to reliably predict the future? In the field of atmospheric chemistry, a phenomenon would be felt “fully understood” when the control
