Kurzbeschreibung
A Brief Survey of Environmental Chemistry is a short, problem-centered book ideal for a one-semester introductory course in environmental chemistry. Each chapter ends with a detailed problem set and short answers. The text uses real-world problems to help students master the use of numbers in this highly quantitative field. The author breaks down complex environmental issues into simple terms, using relevant examples that allow students to grasp the basics of environmental chemistry and go on to solve problems that are relevant to current environmental issues.
