Elements Of Environmental Chemistry

Many students who have a keen interest in the environment and want to study it do not always have the same degree of interest in chemistry. Environmental Chemistry is a student-friendly book that focuses upon the chemical foundations of environmental science, including analytical techniques. There are a wide variety of techniques used for analysis, from simple weighing to titrations. It provides full coverage of the Chemistry option module of the same name. The book provides full coverage of the Advanced Level specifications. This book is very useful for courses taught in departments of science and environment, biotechnology and chemical engineering, the text presents an overview of important aspects of air and water pollution, especially the effects of industrial activities on pollution. This book tries to link the learning of this basic chemistry to its application in the explanation of environmental problems and tries to bridge the gap between the less and more advanced books on environmental chemistry. It should be understandable by readers who have a basic knowledge of chemistry. Students who have to study environmental chemistry as part of some qualification in environmental science/studies/management should also find the contents useful.
