Reviews

Excellent summary of environmental chemistry for air, water, and soil environments. Contains a good basic overview of environmental chemistry. Contains qualitative and quantitative aspects in each chapter and has very up to date information. References include hard and Internet sources. Reasonably challenging text. Does not contain many engineering concepts.

Contains a limited number of qualitative and quantitative questions at the end of the chapter. Does not contain any in-chapter problem examples.
