Peter Brimblecombe (born 1949)[1] is an Australian-born, British atmospheric chemist, currently emeritus professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of East Anglia and National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan.[2][3][4] In a five-decade research career, he has written or co-authored seven books and around 350 peer-reviewed papers on air pollution and its effects on human health and the environment,[5] but is probably best known as the author of The Big Smoke, which has been described as a definitive history of air pollution.[6][7][8]
