Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Colin Baird and Michael Cann's acclaimed textbook helps students explore chemical processes and properties underlying environmental issues they hear about and discuss every day. Issues such as climate change, pollution, biofuels, sustainability and many more are dissected throughout the title. With an updated and balanced coverage of soil, water and air chemistry, the fifth edition pays close attention to the environmental impacts of chemical production and experimentation. A textbook that stands out from others looking at environmental chemistry as it makes these environmental problems accessible to students.
