Air and Rain: The Beginnings of a Chemical Climatology by Robert Angus Smith is a scientific book that explores the chemical composition of the atmosphere and the impact of air pollution on the environment. The author, a Scottish chemist, conducted experiments in the mid-19th century to analyze the chemical composition of air and rainwater in Manchester, England, which was one of the most polluted cities in the world at the time.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the author's experiments and observations, including the discovery of acid rain and the relationship between air pollution and respiratory diseases. The second part of the book focuses on the broader implications of these findings and their relevance to contemporary environmental issues.Overall, Air and Rain is a pioneering work in the field of atmospheric chemistry and a key text in the history of environmental science. It sheds light on the early efforts to understand the impact of human activity on the environment and the importance of scientific research in addressing environmental challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
