They are found in many areas of our everyday-life: they are responsible for the communication between species such as plants, insects or mammals; they serve as flavours or fragrances in many food products or perfumed consumer articles; and they play an important role in atmospheric chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book takes an interdisciplinary approach to volatile molecules.
