Introductory Chemistry for the Environmental Sciences

This undergraduate textbook has been written for students specializing in environmental science or ecology who require an introduction to the basic chemical concepts underlying a sound understanding of the subject. The aim throughout is to stress basic chemical principles, starting with atomic and molecular structure and leading to more advanced areas within physical, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry. Wherever possible, principles are illustrated with examples from environmental science and the final chapter provides case studies of environmental chemical processes. While the primary aim is to satisfy the needs of the nonchemist, it will also be useful to chemists who wish to apply their expertise to topics within environmental science.Harrison, R.
