This self-contained text offers all the information necessary for readers to understand the topics surrounding environmental science and the chemistry underlying various issues. Environmental Chemistry in Society, Third Edition, provides a foundation in science, chemistry, and toxicology, including the laws of thermodynamics, chemical bonding, and environmental toxins. This text allows readers to delve into environmental topics such as energy in society, air quality, global atmospheric concerns, water quality, and solid waste management. The arrangement of the book provides instructors with flexibility in how they present the material, with crucial topics covered first. This Third Edition has been updated throughout. The book provides a statement of learning outcomes at the beginning of every chapter, group work questions to encourage learning and environmental awareness, and discussion questions to develop critical thinking skills. The Third Edition includes more illustrations than previous editions, and the energy chapter of the Second Edition has been divided into two chapters in this edition to make the topic more manageable. An inclusive international approach highlights the contributions of scientists from around the world. Chemical structures are presented with inline figures. FEATURES Offers a user-friendly approach to appeal to students with little or no science background Presents a qualitative approach to the chemistry behind many current environmental issues Updates environmental data Includes a glossary of important terms The environmental data has been updated to include the effects of COVID-19. A test bank is available to instructors upon request.

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of the chemical sciences to the modern world. In the last 150 years, they have transformed our physical environment, our material culture, our manner of living, and even our persons—and they are continuing to do so in profound ways. Yet the detailed and systematic study of the history of the modern chemical sciences has been relatively late in coming. This compilation of essays by leading scholars represents the first fruits of modern historical scholarship. The essays vary in form and content: some represent detailed, original research; others are cast as synoptic blueprints for future research in major domains of scholarship; still others are provocative reflections on the opportunities and challenges facing historians of chemical sciences and industries and their audiences. The essays in Part One deal with the experimental generation of new chemical knowledge, the nature of theories about chemical knowledge, and the reception of new knowledge by the chemical community. Part Two is devoted primarily to the development of modern industrial chemistry. Part Three is concerned with preserving archives and artifacts owned by public and private institutions, with making the history of chemistry accessible to persons interested but not trained in history, and with helping both policymakers and the general public to understand the policy issues involving the chemical sciences and industries trough the insights provided by historical research. Part Four, the concluding section, discusses future prospects for the history f the chemical sciences, addressing questions about methodology, audience, and new directions for research.

What do you associate with chemistry? Explosions, innovative materials, plastics, pollution? The public's confused and contradictory conception of chemistry as basic science, industrial producer and polluter contributes to what we present in this book as chemistry's image as an impure science. Historically, chemistry has always been viewed as impure both in terms of its academic status and its role in transforming modern society. While exploring the history of this science we argue for a characteristic philosophical approach that distinguishes chemistry from physics. This reflection leads us to a philosophical stance that we characterise as operational realism. In this new expanded edition we delve deeper into the questions of properties and potentials that are so important for this philosophy that is based on the manipulation of matter rather than the construction of theories./a
