BOOK



From Reviews of the First Edition:

"This splendid, at times humorous, and reasonably priced little

book has much to commend it to undergraduate chemists and to

other science students." -J. G. Farmer, University of

Edinburgh

"Complex environmental issues are presented in simple terms to

help readers grasp the basics and solve relevant problems." -J

Albaiges, University of Barcelona

"The main strength of the book lies in its explanations of the

calculation of quantitative relationships. Each chapter includes

15-20 problems that are carefully chosen from a didactic

standpoint, for which the reader can find solutions at the end."

D. Lenoir, Institute for Ecological Chemistry

"What drew me to the first edition was the style - the no

nonsense, down-to-earth explanations and the practical examples

that litter the text. The dry humor expressed in the footnotes is

great and reminds me of other classic texts." -T. Clough, Lincoln

University

A practical approach to environmental chemistry

Providing readers with the fundamentals of environmental

chemistry and a toolbox for putting them into practice, Elements

of Environmental Chemistry, Second Edition is a concise

accessible, and hands-on volume designed for students and

professionals working in the chemical and environmental

sciences

Tutorial in style, this book fully incorporates real-world

problems and extensive end-of-chapter problem sets to immerse the

reader in the field. Chapters cover mass balance, chemical

kinetics, carbon dioxide equilibria, pesticide structures and

much more. Extensively revised, updated, and expanded, this

Second Edition includes new chapters on atmospheric chemistry

climate change, and polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins, and

brominated flame retardants. In addition, new practice problems

and a helpful tutorial on organic chemistry names and structures

have been added to improve both the scope and accessibility of

the book
