Description
New edition of a text that emphasizes several major concepts proving to be essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millenium. It includes the concept of the antrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment and the practice of industrial ecology (sometimes known as "green chemistry") as it applies to chemical science. The 27 chapters introduce the field and discuss the anthrosphere and industrial ecosystems; atmospheric, agricultural, and environmental chemistry; air and gas analysis; the geosphere; industrial ecology (resources and energy, and waste minimization, utilization, and treatment); the biosphere; and environmental chemical analysis.

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 ChemistryPrinciples of Industrial EcologyIndustrial Ecology, Resources, and EnergyIndustrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and TreatmentChemical Analysis of Water and WastewaterChemical Analysis of Wastes and SolidsAir and Gas AnalysisChemical Analysis of Biological Materials XenobioticsMany 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.
