Advanced Environmental Chemistry

Environmental chemistry is becoming increasingly crucial in understanding important issues that range from climate change to local pollution problems. It is the study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in the environment. It also studies the effects of these chemicals on ecosystems, animals, and human health.

Advanced Environmental Chemistry discusses environment and its biological cycles. The book provides students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications. It provides an in depth introduction to the chemical composition of the atmosphere and water. The author also thoroughly explores important concepts such as soil pollution, radioactive pollution, and environment toxicology. All the chapters are followed by multiple choice and short answer questions.
