Provides a comprehensive, balanced introduction to
this multi–disciplinary area of chemistry. Intended not
only for chemists, but also for environmental and other
science students, this text carefully introduces the
chemistry needed to fully appreciate this subject,
placing it in an applied and practical setting. Written
in an accessible and readable style, the book assumes
only a basic knowledge of chemistry, with the more
advanced chemical concepts carefully introduced as
needed. Opening with a general introduction to the
subject and the practical skills that need to be known,
the text then moves on to cover areas of specific
interest to environmental chemists. Each chapter starts
by covering the theory and concepts, and then describes
a selection of experiments that can be undertaken. ∗
Provides a comprehensive introduction to environmental
chemistry covering all the key areas ∗ Includes a
balanced coverage of both theoretical and experimental
aspects ∗ Maintains a careful and logically–structured
approach, with theory being covered first, followed by
laboratory experiments and student problems ∗ Assumes
only a basic knowledge of chemistry, with more advanced
concepts introduced as needed This book will be
invaluable to students in the chemical and environmental
sciences, as well as engineering, physical, life and
earth science students interested in environmental
chemistry.
