The Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry (Paperback)

The fate of contaminants in the environment, in particular, the transfer processes of pollutants between different compartments of the ecosystem, are still not very well understood. The Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry outlines the problems and issues facing the environmental chemist throughout the ecosystem, providing a concise overview of environmental pollution in air, water and soil. The book also includes a chapter on strategies for environmental analysis.

This "pocket atlas" translated from the highly successful German edition Taschenatlas der Umweltchemie, is unique in its graphical representation and condensed format. The quality and appeal of the full-colour diagrams are unmatched. It follows up the Essential Guide to Analytical Chemistry by the same author, and also very well received by readers.

Key features include:

• Unique format with text and illustrations on facing pages
• Clear, full colour schematic diagrams making up 50% of the book
• A highly readable pocket-sized presentation
• Comprehensive yet concise overview of environmental chemistry - ideal as a revision aid or introductory text

The Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry will be a "must-have" for undergraduates/graduates taking environmental chemistry, science and management courses. It will also be an extremely valuable guide for environmental consultants, workers in public bodies responsible for monitoring environmental pollution e.g. river auhtorities, environmental protection agencies; for tose in industries which deal with waste disposal, sewage treatment, soil remediation, air pollution etc.; and those in private environmental analysis laboratories.
