Dealing with natural environmental chemistry processes and pollution, this text outlines the chemistry process of species, air, water, soil, and the living environment. It includes a section on hazardous waste control and is aimed at undergraduate/graduate level courses.

Environmental Chemistry, Fifth Edition

Manahan, Stanley E.

Biological Sciences

The field of environmental chemistry has evolved significantly since the publication of the first edition of Environmental Chemistry. Throughout the book’s long life, it has chronicled emerging issues such as organochloride pesticides, detergent phosphates, stratospheric ozone depletion, the banning of chlorofluorocarbons, and greenhouse warming. During this time the first Nobel Prize for environmental chemistry was awarded. Written by environmental chemist Stanley Manahan, each edition has reflected the field’s shift of emphasis from pollution and its effects to its current emphasis on sustainability. What makes this book so enduring? Completely revised, this ninth edition retains the organizational structure that has made past editions so popular with students and professors while updating coverage of principles, tools, and techniques to provide fundamental understanding of environmental chemistry and its applications. It includes end-of chapter questions and problems, and a solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoptions. Rather than immediately discussing specific environmental problems, Manahan systematically develops the concept of environmental chemistry so that when he covers specific pollutions problems the background necessary to understand the problem has already been developed. New in the Ninth Edition: <ul>
<li>revised discussion of sustainability and environmental science</li> <li>updates information on chemical fate and transport, cycles of matter</li> <li>examination of the connection between environmental chemistry and green chemistry</li> <li>coverage of transgenic crops</li> <li>the role of energy in sustainability</li> <li>potential use of toxic substances in terrorist attacks</li> </ul> Manahan emphasizes the importance of the anthrosphere – that part of the environment made and operated by humans and their technologies. Acknowledging technology will be used to support humankind on the planet, it is important that the anthrosphere be designed and operated in a manner that is compatible with sustainability and that it interacts constructively with the other environmental spheres. With clear explanations, real-world examples, and updated questions and answers, the book emphases the concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations in the field. Readily adapted for classroom use, a solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption.

Environmental Chemistry, Ninth Edition

The standard-setting classic just got better! Completely revised and updated since the publication of the sixth edition, Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition contains eight new chapters, with significant emphasis on industrial ecology as it relates to the emerging area of "green" chemistry. It also discusses the concept of the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment. The new chapters in the Seventh Edition include: 
<li>The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and </li>
<li>Environmental Chemistry 
</li>
<li>Principles of Industrial Ecology 
</li>
<li>Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy 
</li>
<li>Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment 
</li>
<li>Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater 
</li>
<li>Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids 
</li>
<li>Air and Gas Analysis 
</li>
<li>Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials 
</li>
<li>Xenobiotics Many professionals in environmental chemistry today began their studies with this definitive textbook. Now this benchmark resource has even more to offer. It gives your students a basic understanding of the science and its applications. In addition to providing updated materials in this rapidly developing field, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millennium.</li>

Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition

Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions tosystematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications. Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition, this text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations to the field. The author provides clear explanations to important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, aquatic chemistry, and atmospheric chemistry, including the study of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. The subject of industrial chemistry and energy resources is supported by pertinent topics in recycling and hazardous waste. Several chapters review environmental biochemistry and toxicology, and the final chapters describe analytical methods for measuring chemical and biological waste. 
New features in this edition include: enhanced coverage of chemical fate and transport; industrial ecology, particularly how it is integrated with green chemistry; conservation principles and recent accomplishments in sustainable chemical science and technology; a new chapter addressing terrorism and threats to the environment; and the use of real world examples.
