Reviews

The beginning of the text is a good review of general chemistry as applied to environmental chemistry. The book contains very good summaries of the topics listed in the table of contents but it is a bit too simplistic for a true course in environmental chemistry. Perhaps it would be best used in a biology course in environmental sciences. It’s greatest weakness is a complete lack of quantitative examples and problems.

End-of-chapter problems are limited and qualitative. The book does not contain any worked problems or examples in the chapter.
