Abstract
The dominant chemical reactions affecting atmospheric pollution chemis try and in particular, those leading to the formation of acid rain are outlined. The factors controlling the oxidation rate of atmospheric p ollutants as well as the rate laws describing these processes are disc ussed in the light of our latest results and the current literature.
