"'Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition' builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions to systematically 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

Written to bridge the gap between toxicology and chemistry, this book concentrates on the chemical formulas, structures and reactions of toxic substances. The book provides brief introductions to toxicology, chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry, so that readers without substantial expertise in one or more areas can still understand the remainder of the book. To retain a chemical emphasis, the book is organized on the basis of classes of inorganic and organic substances. The book is aimed at toxicologists, chemists, engineers, industrial hygienists, research laboratory personnel dealing with hazardous and toxic substances, and people working on the disposal and elimination of hazardous substances.
