About the Author

Peter Fabian is a distinguished atmospheric chemist and environmental scientist whose groundbreaking research has illuminated the complex dynamics of reactive halogen compounds in the Earth's atmosphere. With decades of expertise in trace gas analysis and ozone depletion mechanisms, Fabian has contributed significantly to our understanding of anthropogenic impacts on air quality and climate. His seminal work, Reactive Halogen Compounds in the Atmosphere (The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry, 4 / 4E), serves as a cornerstone reference for researchers worldwide, detailing the sources, transformations, and environmental consequences of these compounds. Fabian's interdisciplinary approach bridges chemistry, meteorology, and policy, influencing international efforts to mitigate atmospheric pollution. A professor emeritus at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, he continues to mentor the next generation of scientists dedicated to planetary health.
