Paul Davidovits Professor, Chemistry Department
College of Arts & Sciences
Ph.D. Columbia University

Environmental and atmospheric chemistry; acid rain formation; chemistry of ozone depletion; gas-liquid interactions in clouds and fog. A pioneer in the effort to understand the phenomena of acid rain and ozone depletion; has devised several accurate experimental techniques which make it possible for scientists to understand how gases interact with rain droplets. The results of his experiments led to the first fundamental understanding of how acid rain forms. Fellow of the American Physical Society.
