Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Radical, Photochemistry, Reaction rate constant and NOx. James N. Pitts combines subjects such as Air pollution, Particulates, Nitrate and Atmospheric chemistry with his study of Environmental chemistry. James N. Pitts interconnects Tropospheric ozone, Troposphere, Relative humidity and Acid rain in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric chemistry.

His Radical research integrates issues from Photodissociation, Chemical reaction, Dimethyl sulfide and Dinitrogen pentoxide. His studies in Photochemistry integrate themes in fields like Organic chemistry and Photochemical oxidants. The various areas that James N. Pitts examines in his NOx study include Methyl nitrate, Nitrogen dioxide, Ozone and Nitric acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere: Theory, Experiments, and Applications (1560 citations)
  • Atmospheric chemistry : fundamentals and experimental techniques (1077 citations)
  • Tropospheric air pollution: ozone, airborne toxics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particles (837 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Photochemistry, Reaction rate constant, Radical, Environmental chemistry and Analytical chemistry. As a part of the same scientific study, James N. Pitts usually deals with the Photochemistry, concentrating on Ozone and frequently concerns with NOx. His Reaction rate constant investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Medicinal chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Hydrocarbon, Hydroxyl radical and Physical chemistry.

His Radical research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cyclohexane, Methyl nitrite, Chemical reaction and Troposphere. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atmospheric chemistry, Particulates, Nitrous acid, Air pollution and Nitrate. His research in Analytical chemistry tackles topics such as Nitrogen dioxide which are related to areas like Pyrene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photochemistry (43.22%)
  • Reaction rate constant (28.14%)
  • Radical (26.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2017)?

  • Environmental chemistry (17.09%)
  • Reaction rate constant (28.14%)
  • Radical (26.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

James N. Pitts focuses on Environmental chemistry, Reaction rate constant, Radical, Air pollution and Photochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Organic matter, NOx and Ozone, Atmospheric chemistry in addition to Environmental chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Tropospheric ozone, Troposphere, Air pollutant concentrations, Clean Air Act and Criteria air contaminants as well as Atmospheric chemistry.

His Radical study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Monoterpene and Molecule. James N. Pitts has included themes like Atmosphere, Pollutant, Acid rain and Particulate organic matter, Particulates in his Air pollution study. James N. Pitts has researched Photochemistry in several fields, including Dimethyl ether, Organic chemistry, Hydrocarbon and Atmospheric temperature range.

Between 1984 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Chemistry of the Upper and Lower Atmosphere: Theory, Experiments, and Applications (1560 citations)
  • Atmospheric chemistry : fundamentals and experimental techniques (1077 citations)
  • Tropospheric air pollution: ozone, airborne toxics, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and particles (837 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Hydrogen

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Air pollution, Radical, NOx and Photochemistry. James N. Pitts works mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Troposphere and, in certain cases, Atmosphere, Stratosphere and International Standard Atmosphere. His Air pollution study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental engineering and Atmospheric chemistry.

Radical and Reaction rate constant are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. His research on NOx also deals with topics like

  • Ozone that intertwine with fields like Methane, Photodissociation, Halogen and Nitrogen oxide,
  • Particulates and related Nitrate. His work deals with themes such as Chemical reaction and Hydrocarbon, which intersect with Photochemistry.
