By: Girard, James EMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Sudbury, MA : Jones and Bartlett Publishers, ©2005Description: xxv, 677 p. : illustrationsISBN: 0763724718 ; 9780763724719Subject(s): Environmental chemistryDDC classification: 363.738
Contents:
Planet Earth: rocks, life, and energy -- Earth's soil and agriculture: feeding the Earth's people -- The Earth's atmosphere -- Chemistry of the troposphere -- Chemistry of the stratosphere -- Analysis of air and air pollutants -- Water resources -- Water pollution and water treatment -- Analysis of water and wastewater -- Fossil fuels: our major source of energy -- Nuclear power -- Energy sources for the future -- Toxicology -- Inorganic metals in the environment -- Organic chemicals in the environment -- Insecticides, herbicides, and insect control -- Asbestos -- The disposal of dangerous wastes.
Summary: "Principles of Environmental Chemistry is the only environmental chemistry textbook that stresses the analytical techniques and methods used by the EPA to measure pollutants in the environment and describes EPA regulation of discharges into the air, water, and soil. It covers, in detail, the instruments and techniques used by the EPA to assure compliance. With this knowledge, students are better able to understand the chemical composition of an unpolluted environment."--Jacket.
