Includes completely revised and updated information

Solutions manual available with qualifying course adoption

Focuses on industrial ecology and how it relates to "green" chemistry

Contains eight new chapters, with major revisions to the remaining chapters

Covers how to improve environmental quality through the enlightened application of environmental chemistry

The standard-setting classic just got better! Completely revised and updated since the publication of the sixth edition, Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition contains eight new chapters, with significant emphasis on industrial ecology as it relates to the emerging area of "green" chemistry. It also discusses the concept of the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment.
The new chapters in the Seventh Edition include:

The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and

Environmental Chemistry

Principles of Industrial Ecology

Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy

Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment

Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater

Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids

Air and Gas Analysis

Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials

Xenobiotics
Many professionals in environmental chemistry today began their studies with this definitive textbook. Now this benchmark resource has even more to offer. It gives your students a basic understanding of the science and its applications. In addition to providing updated materials in this rapidly developing field, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millennium.

Editorial Reviews

"The new version keeps the general format and illustrations of the earlier text but has added many new references and discussions of more current environmental issues throughout. It is written as an instructional text, complete with references as well as questions and problems at the end of each of the 27 chapters…For those who want a break from studying what goes on inside the body and who want to learn practically everything chemical going on outside the body, this may be just the right diversion!"
--Dennis Freer, in Clinical Chemistry, Vol. 47, No. 1
