• Holistic approach gives students firm theoretical and experimental grounding in environmental chemistry
• Perfect for undergraduate environmental chemistry courses, which are becoming more widespread
• Provides a comprehensive and unique microscale approach to teaching Environmental Chemistry courses that is intended to be completed in one semester, unlike competing textbooks
• Pre- and post-laboratory exercises to develop problem-solving skills
• Innovative sections on waste minimization, environmental legislation, biochemical processes, remediation procedures, and environmental economics
• Avoids analytical chemistry, which has been extensively covered by the competing books

Klappentext

This book presents chemical analyses of our most pressing waste, pollution, and resource problems for the undergraduate or graduate student. The distinctive holistic approach provides both a solid ground in theory, as well as a laboratory manual detailing introductory and advanced experimental applications. The laboratory procedures are presented at microscale conditions, for minimum waste and maximum economy. This work fulfills an urgent need for an introductory text in environmental chemistry combining theory and practice, and is a valuable tool for preparing the next generation of environmental scientists.
