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:
Environmental Science, Technology, and Chemistry
The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and Environmental Chemistry
Fundamentals of Aquatic Chemistry
Oxidation-Reduction
Phase Interactions
Aquatic Microbial Biochemistry
Water Pollution
Water Treatment
The Atmosphere and Atmospheric Chemistry
Particles in the Atmosphere
Gaseous Inorganic Air Pollutants
Organic Air Pollutants
Photochemical Smog
The Endangered Global Atmosphere
The Geosphere and Geochemistry
Soil Environmental Chemistry
Principles of Industrial Ecology
Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy
Nature, Sources, and Environmental Chemistry of Hazardous Wastes
Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment
Environmental Biochemistry
Toxicological Chemistry
Toxicological Chemistry of Chemical Substances
Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater
Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids
Air and Gas Analysis
Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials and Xenobiotics
Fundamentals of Chemistry
Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry
"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!"
