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 astrosphere 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.
