Abstract
The basis for studying the stratospheric chemistry has been laid out in the chapter on tropospheric chemistry (Chapter 16). In that case we dealt mainly with the gas sources but we introduced also the main tools that are used in photochemical studies of the atmosphere. In the troposphere, some of the gas have a quite short lifetime because, for example, they are dissolved in water or are rapidly oxidized so that they hardly can penetrate the stratosphere.
