      • Composition: spatially & temporally varying of gases
      • Ambient mixing ratios
      • Main gases, natural and artificial sources & sinks
      • Health effects and environmental impacts
      • Contribution to pollution phenomenons
      • Abundance indoor, outdoor, acid deposition, stratospheric ozone and climate change
