Description - Elements of Environmental Chemistry by Ronald A. Hites
From Reviews of the First Edition:
"This splendid, at times humorous, and reasonably priced little
book has much to commend it to undergraduate chemists and to other
science students." J. G. Farmer, University of Edinburgh
"Complex environmental issues are presented in simple terms to
help readers grasp the basics and solve relevant problems."
J. Albaiges, University of Barcelona
"The main strength of the book lies in its explanations of the
calculation of quantitative relationships. Each chapter includes
15-20 problems that are carefully chosen from a didactic
standpoint, for which the reader can find solutions at the end."
D. Lenoir, Institute for Ecological Chemistry
"What drew me to the first edition was the style the no
nonsense, down-to-earth explanations and the practical examples
that litter the text. The dry humor expressed in the footnotes is
great and reminds me of other classic texts." T. Clough,
Lincoln University
A practical approach to environmental chemistry
Providing readers with the fundamentals of environmental
chemistry and a toolbox for putting them into practice, Elements of
Environmental Chemistry, Second Edition is a concise, accessible,
and hands-on volume designed for students and professionals working
in the chemical and environmental sciences.
Tutorial in style, this book fully incorporates real-world
problems and extensive end-of-chapter problem sets to immerse the
reader in the field. Chapters cover mass balance, chemical
kinetics, carbon dioxide equilibria, pesticide structures and much
more. Extensively revised, updated, and expanded, this Second
Edition includes new chapters on atmospheric chemistry, climate
change, and polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins, and brominated
flame retardants. In addition, new practice problems and a helpful
tutorial on organic chemistry names and structures have been added
to improve both the scope and accessibility of the book.
