Environmental chemistry is a new, fast developing science aimed
at deciphering fundamental mechanisms ruling the behaviour of
pollutants in ecosystems. Applying this knowledge to current
environmental issues leads to the remediation of environmental
media, and to new, low energy, low emission, sustainable processes.
This book describes the state-of-the-art advances regarding the
pollution of water, soils, atmosphere, food and living organisms by
toxic metals, fossil fuels, pesticides and other organic
pollutants. Furthermore, the eco-toxicology section presents novel
bio-assays to assess the toxicity of various pollutants such as
dioxins and endocrine disrupters within complex media. The green
chemistry section highlights novel chemical reactions based upon
environmentally friendly conditions. The analytical chemistry
section describes very sensitive methods which trace the fate of
pollutants in complex ecosystems.
