Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions to systematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications. Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition to keep up with this rapidly evolving field, the text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry. The author thoroughly explores important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, and aquatic and atmospheric chemistry, including the study of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. Explanations of industrial chemistry and energy resources are supported by topics in recycling and hazardous waste. Several chapters review environmental biochemistry and toxicology, and the final chapters describe analytical methods for measuring chemical and biological waste.R evised and updated since the publication of the bestselling seventh edition, new features in this edition include: enhanced coverage of chemical fate and transport; industrial ecology, particularly how it is integrated with green chemistry; conservation principles and recent accomplishments in sustainable chemical science and technology; a new chapter addressing terrorism and threats to the environment; and the use of real world examples.
