Understand the properties and consequences of chemical pollutants
Environmental chemistry is the field of study which focuses on chemical species, natural or man-made, and their impact on the atmosphere, water, and soils. It’s a growing area of research and technological development, increasingly prominent in university chemistry curricula. There is more demand than ever for a strong textbook overview of this thriving interdisciplinary subject and its myriad applications.
Understanding the Chemistry of the Environment meets this demand with an exploration of the chemical aspects of pollution and its consequences. It offers a clear explanation of the relationship between chemical structure, physiochemical properties of natural and anthropogenic substances, and environmental impact. Drawing upon advances in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, engineering, toxicology, and more, it is a must-own for students and researchers in environmental chemistry.
Understanding the Chemistry of the Environment readers will also find:
- Overview of major chemical pollutants and their ecotoxicological effects
Understanding the Chemistry of the Environment is ideal for undergraduate students in environmental chemistry courses, as well as graduate students in need of a reference work on environmental chemistry.
Francisco G. Calvo-Flores, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the University of Granada, Spain.
