Persistence revisited
Abstract:
We are happy and proud to announce that our book 'Atmospheric Degradation of Organic Substances - Data for Persistence and Long-range Transport' (see pp. 143-144) has recently been published by Wiley-VCH. It contains a critical compilation of photo degradation rate constants and quantum efficiencies relevant for calculating the atmospheric persistence of volatile and a few semi-volatile organic compounds. In addition to the data of nearly 1100 substances, the importance of persistence in air and long-range transport potential is presented in two chapters from the point of view of chemicals legislation and of atmospheric photochemistry.

Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
