Riassunto

This book describes advances in this new, fast developing science, which seeks to decipher fundamental mechanisms ruling the behaviour in water, soils, atmosphere, food and living organisms of toxic metals, fossil fuels, pesticides and other organic pollutants. Sections on eco-toxicology, green chemistry, and analytical chemistry round out this thorough survey of conditions and analytical techniques in an emerging specialty.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"The book consists of 69 chapters, which are organized around seven themes: analytical chemistry, toxic metals, organic pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, Green chemistry, and ecotoxicology. ... all the articles describe up-to-date research in areas that are currently of concern. Thus, this book will mainly be useful for practitioners in the field who wish to explore areas related to their current research or as a course resource for graduate students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (H.E. Pence, CHOICE, Vol. 42 (11), July, 2005)

"Environmental Chemistry is a fast-developing discipline aiming at understanding the fate of pollutants in ecosystems and at designing novel processes that are safe for ecosystems. This book is a collection of 69 papers arranged into seven topics ... . it will be of interest to scientists who are working in specific domains dealt with." (International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 85 (15), 2005)
