Principles of Environmental Chemistry

Principles of Environmental Chemistry offers a student-friendly approach to the chemical principles underlying environmental issues, and links socio-economic indicators with their impacts on the environment. Written for students who have taken general chemistry, the text presents the major environmental issues in the areas of energy; toxic chemicals; and the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. The only environmental textbook that stresses analysis of environmental pollutants, Principles of Environmental Chemistry describes the analytical techniques and methods that are used to measure pollutants in the environment, stresses EPA regulation of discharges into the air and water, and describes the EPA methods that are used to assure compliance.
