Aquatic chemistry is becoming both a rewarding and substantial area
of inquiry and is drawing many prominent scientists to its fold.
Its literature has changed from a compilation of compositional
tables to studies of the chemical reactions occurring within the
aquatic environments. But more than this is the recognition that
human society in part is determining the nature of aquatic systems.
Since rivers deliver to the world ocean most of its dissolved and
particulate components, the interactions of these two sets of
waters determine the vitality of our coastal waters. This
significant vol ume provides not only an introduction to the
dynamics of aquatic chem istries but also identifies those
materials that jeopardize the resources of both the marine and
fluvial domains. Its very title provides its emphasis but clearly
not its breadth in considering natural processes. The book will be
of great value to those environmental scientists who are dedicated
to keeping the resources of the hydrosphere renewable. As the size
of the world population becomes larger in the near future and as
the uses of materials and energy show parallel increases, the
rivers and oceans must be considered as a resource to accept some
of the wastes of society. The ability of these waters and the
sediments below them to accommodate wastes must be assessed
continually. The key questions relate to the capacities of aqueous
systems to carry one or more pollutants."
