Synopses & Reviews
The standard-setting classic just got better Completely revised and updated since the publication of the sixth edition, Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition contains eight new chapters, with significant emphasis on industrial ecology as it relates to the emerging area of green chemistry. It also discusses the concept of the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment.
The new chapters in the Seventh Edition include:
The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and Environmental Chemistry
Principles of Industrial Ecology
Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy
Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment
Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater
Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids
Air and Gas Analysis
Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials
Xenobiotics
Many professionals in environmental chemistry today began their studies with this definitive textbook. Now this benchmark resource has even more to offer. It gives your students a basic understanding of the science and its applications. In addition to providing updated materials in this rapidly developing field, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millennium.
