Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions tosystematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications.  Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition, this text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations to the field. The author provides clear explanations to important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, aquatic chemistry, and atmospheric chemistry, including the study of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. The subject of industrial chemistry and energy resources is supported by pertinent topics in recycling and hazardous waste. Several chapters review environmental biochemistry and toxicology, and the final chapters describe analytical methods for measuring chemical and biological waste. New features in this edition include: enhanced coverage of chemical fate and transport; industrial ecology, particularly how it is integrated with green chemistry; conservation principles and recent accomplishments in sustainable chemical science and technology; a new chapter addressing terrorism and threats to the environment; and the use of real world examples.

<p>The first of its kind, this new book takes a unique look at hazardous wastes. Designed in a compact form, it is an easy-to-understand book on the chemistry and toxicology of hazardous substances and wastes. It begins with a basic coverage of chemistry and biochemistry, environmental chemical processes, and toxicology. Detailed chapters discuss the chemistry and toxicology of inorganic and organic hazardous substances and biohazards. The fully documented text explains procedures for eliminating, detoxifying, and disposing of hazardous wastes with continual reference to their basic chemistry and toxicology. Hazardous Waste Chemistry, Toxicology, and Treatment is an indispensable reference guide for everyone involved with hazardous substances, wastes, toxicology, and basic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. This title is an ideal textbook for senior and graduate level courses studying hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, and industrial hygiene.</p>

CRC-Press

The first four chapters of the book deal with the most fundamental principles of chemistry along with an introduction to green chemistry. Organic chemistry and biochemicals are introduced in Chapter 5. Later chapters discuss energy, the environmental and green chemistry of water, the atmosphere and atmospheric chemistry,the biosphere and biological processes, the geosphere and soil, industrial ecology, and feedstocks. There is a separate chapter on terrorism and its relationship to green chemistry. The last chapter, "The Ten Commandments of Sustainability," lays out ten principles to be followed if sustainbility is to be achieved. A unique feature of the book is its recognition of the anthrosphere - the things that humans make and do - as a fifth sphere of the environment along with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.

<p>Here's what you'll find in the Sixth Edition: Chapter 1 provides an overview of environmental science and how it relates to technology. An overall introduction to environmental chemistry is given in Chapter 2. Chapters on aquatic and atmospheric chemistry, chemistry of the geosphere and soil, and hazardous wastes have been thoroughly updated. New chapters on Environmental Biochemistry and Chemical Analysis have been added. New chapters on the Fundamentals of Chemistry (and Organic Chemistry) have been added, providing a thorough grounding in the basic chemical sciences.</p>
