The Elements Of Environmental Pollution

The Elements of Environmental Pollution provides a clear and user-friendly text that clearly explains the nature and extent of environmental pollution and provides the necessary scientific background in environmental chemistry and biogeochemistry. The book illustrates how local and global pollution problems arise from human activity disturbing natural elemental cycles and our introduction of hazardous materials into the natural world. A key feature of the book is its structural focus on individual elements, their natural and anthropogenic pathways around the earth system and the real world consequences of this dynamic flow. This clearly written and comprehensive text contains a wealth of features to assist student learning, including end of chapter summaries and questions, suggestions for further reading and relevant websites, as well as its own companion website providing additional instructor and student resources.
