Description for An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry
Paperback. Environmental chemistry is a key part of many environmental, earth and life science courses. An understanding of the fundamental chemistry implicit in the subject is important, but students must also be familiar with aspects of mineralogy, oceanography, soil science, sedimentology and microbiology, to name just a few related areas. Num Pages: 320 pages, 0. BIC Classification: TQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 246 x 173 x 18. Weight in Grams: 510.
This introductory text explains the fundamentals of the chemistry of the natural environment and the effects of mankind's activities on the earth's chemical systems. It retains an emphasis on describing how natural geochemical processes operate over a variety of scales in time and space, and how the effects of human perturbation can be measured. The topics range from familiar global issues such as atmospheric pollution and its effect on global warming and ozone destruction, to microbiological processes that cause pollution of drinking water deltas. It contains sections and information boxes that explain the basic chemistry underpinning the subject covered. Each ... Read more
