Written by an expert, using the same approach that made the previous two editions so successful, Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, Third Edition expands the scope of book to include the strongly emerging areas broadly described as sustainability science and technology, including green chemistry and industrial ecology. The new edition includes: Increased emphasis on the applied aspects of environmental chemistry Hot topics such as global warming and biomass energy Integration of green chemistry and sustainability concepts throughout the text More and updated questions and answers, including some that require Internet research Lecturers Pack on CD-ROM with solutions manual, PowerPoint presentations, and chapter figures available upon qualifying course adoptions The book provides a basic course in chemical science, including the fundamentals of organic chemistry and biochemistry. The author uses real-life examples from environmetnal chemistry, green chemistry, and related areas while maintaining brevity and simplicity in his explanation of concepts. Building on this foundation, the book covers environmental chemistry, broadly defined to include sustainability aspects, green chemistry, industrial ecology, and related areas. These chapters are organized around the five environmental spheres, the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and the anthrosphere. The last two chapters discuss analytical chemistry and its relevance to environmental chemistry. Manahan’s clear, concise, and readable style makes the information accessible, regardless of the readers’ level of chemistry knowledge. He demystifies the material for those who need the basics of chemical science for their trade, profession, or study curriculum, as well as for readers who want to have an understanding of the fundamentals of sustainable chemistry in its crucial role in maintaining a livable planet.

Written For Science Majors Who Have Completed A General Chemistry Course, Principles Of Environmental Chemistry, Third Edition Enables Students To Understand The Underlying Chemical Processes That Are Operating In The Environment While Demonstrating How Difficult It Is To Measure These Systems. It Emphasizes That All Living And Nonliving Parts Of Our Environment Are Made Up Of Chemicals And That All Of The Natural Processes Continuously Occurring In The Environment Involve Chemical Reactions. With This Concept Of Interdependence, Students Begin To See That Without Some Understanding Of Chemistry, It Is Impossible To Fully Understand Environmental Issues Such As Ozone Depletion, Global Warming, Air And Water Pollution, And The Hazards Of Radioactivity. The Third Edition Includes A New Chapter On Green Chemistry As Well As Numerous Updates Throughout To Address The Changes In The Field. Key Features: - Includes A New Chapter On Green Chemistry. - A New Key Term Glossary Is Now Included At The End Of The Text. - New Feature Boxes Assess Students Understanding Of Chapter Material With Analytical Questions And Problems. - Includes Additional Chemical Equations Throughout The Text. - A New Electronic Student Study Guide And Solutions Manual Is Available With The Third Edition. - Instructor'S Resources Include Powerpoint? Lecture Outlines, Answers To End Of Chapter Problems, And A Testbank. - A Student Companion Website Includes Chapter Outlines, Interactive Glossary, Flashcards, And Weblinks.

Today there is worldwide concern that many of our human activities are endangering--perhaps permanently--the quality of the environment. We must act fast to address these growing problems. The second edition of Principles of Environmental Chemistry exposes readers to environmental issues from a perspective that appreciates that chemical reactions drive all natural processes and outlines the connection between those processes and human behavior. Written for students with knowledge of general chemistry, this text provides the tools needed to understand the underlying chemical processes operating in the environment, while demonstrating how challenging it is to measure these systems. With this concept of interdependence students will begin to understand pressing environmental issues like ozone depletion, global warming, air and water pollution, and the hazards of radioactivity.
