Chemical processes shape the world we live in; the air we breathe,
the water we drink, the weather we experience. Environmental
Chemistry: a global perspective describes those chemical principles
which underpin the natural processes occurring within and between
the air, water, and soil, and explores how human activities impact
on these processes, giving rise to environmental issues of global
concern.
Guiding us through the chemical composition of the three key
environmental systems - the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and
terrestrial environment - the authors explain the chemical
processes which occur within and between each system. Focusing on
general principles, we are introduced to the essential chemical
concepts which allow better understanding of air, water, and soil
and how they behave; careful explanations ensure that clarity is
not sacrificed at the expense of thorough coverage of the
underlying chemistry.
We then see how human activity continues to affect the chemical
behaviour of these environmental systems, and what the consequences
of these natural processes being disturbed can be.
Environmental Chemistry: a global perspective takes chemistry out
of the laboratory, and shows us its importance in the world around
us. With illuminating examples from around the globe, its rich
pedagogy, and broad, carefully structured coverage, this book is
the perfect resource for any environmental chemistry student
wishing to develop a thorough understanding of their subject.
-In-depth and rigorous discussion of the chemical principles of the
most important environmental issues, illustrated throughout with
ample example problems
-Clarity of the text is not sacrificed to achieve depth of
coverage
-Frequent worked examples build students' confidence in the
material being presented
