Principles of Environmental Chemistry focuses on the chemistry involved in environmental problems.

The book provides an in depth introduction to the chemical processes influencing the atmosphere, freshwaters, salt waters and soils. Subsequent sections discuss the behaviour of organic chemicals in the environment and environmental transfer between compartments such as air, soil and water.

Also included is a section on biogeochemical cycling, which is crucial in the understanding of the behaviour of chemicals in the environment.

Complete with worked examples, the book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate chemistry students studying environmental chemistry.
