"Basic Concepts of Environmental Chemistry" is the first book to explain environmental properties in terms of bonds and molecules, and the first to include toxicity and biological effects among the important properties of organic chemicals. This book describes the behaviour and effects of both natural and man-made organic substances in the environment. Environmental chemistry is the study of sources, reactions, transport and fate of chemical entities in the air, water and soil environments as well as their effects on human health and natural environment. This book outlines the behaviour and effects of both natural and manmade organic substances in the environment. It explains how and why environmental processes occur. It covers toxicity and biological effects as well as other, more frequently disscussed properties. This unique book includes number of chemical management techniques. This book has been written by authors having wide range of experiences in this field. Environmental Chemistry is probably the most interdisciplinary of all the branches of chemistry since it includes aspects of all the traditional chemistry branches as well as biochemistry, toxicology, limnology and ecology. This book has sufficient intellectual depth to provide the scope for undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry. The speciality of this book is that properties of common contaminants are illustrated using environmental behavior, rather than laboratory behavior, as the expression of the underlying bonding and molecular characteristics. In recent years there has been an extraordinary developement in our knowledge of the behavior and effects of chemicals in the environment. In the past our knowledge of environmental chemistry was confined principaly to sets of data on the concenrations of chemicals in the environment. Hence, to keep pace in the field of Environment and better understanding of the subject the knowledge of this book is a must.
