Tackling environmental issues such as global warming, ozone
depletion, acid rain, water pollution, and soil contamination
requires an understanding of the underlying science and chemistry
of these processes in real-world systems and situations. Chemistry
for Environmental and Earth Sciences provides a student-friendly
introduction to the basic chemistry used for the mitigation,
remediation, and elimination of pollutants. Written and organized
in a style that is accessible to science as well as non-science
majors, this textbook divides its content into four intuitive
chapters: Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. The first chapter explains
classical concepts in chemistry that occur in nature such as atomic
and molecular structures, chemical bonding and reactions, states of
matter, phase transitions, and radioactivity. Subsequent chapters
focus on the chemistry relating to the geosphere, hydrosphere, and
atmosphere-including the chemical aspects of soil, water, and air
pollution, respectively. Chemistry for Environmental and Earth
Sciences uses worked examples and case studies drawn from current
applications along with clear diagrams and concise explanations to
illustrate the relevance of chemistry to geosciences. In-text and
end-of-chapter questions with complete solutions also help students
gain confidence in applying concepts from this book towards solving
current, real-world problems.
