A entire review at the equipment used to degree nitrogen oxides and acids within the troposphere is given and problems and artefacts linked to using the ideas for measurements in city and mega urban environments is illustrated. cutting-edge tools for the dimension of OH and HO₂ radicals are reviewed and lately known problems, specifically with the dimension of HO₂ radicals, are highlighted.

Other contributions to the booklet disguise our current realizing of the gasoline, aqueous and particulate/aerosol section atmospheric degradation chemistry of risky natural compounds (VOCs) lower than NOx stipulations usual of rural, city and mega urban environments. Examples of measurements of NOx and VOCs within the atmospheres of those environments are given, specifically for the megacities Cairo and Beijing, at the side of modelling reports which try and simulate the sphere observations utilizing state-of-the paintings wisdom at the chemistry of the VOCs and radical degrees.
