Hites Elements of environmental chemistry / By Ronald A. Hites and Jonathan D. -2nd Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, 2012. xiii, 204 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Includes index. Elements of Environmental Chemistry introduces the fundamental chemical processes that occur in the environment and explains how human activities influence these processes. The book focuses on the chemistry of the atmosphere, water, soil, and living systems, describing how natural and synthetic chemicals are produced, transported, transformed, and degraded in the environment. It examines key topics such as air pollution, water contamination, toxic chemicals, and global environmental issues. The text explains the sources of pollutants, their chemical reactions in natural systems, and their impacts on ecosystems and human health. It also discusses the analytical techniques used to detect environmental pollutants and the chemical principles behind environmental monitoring. Overall, the book provides a clear foundation in environmental chemistry, emphasizing the importance of understanding chemical behavior in natural systems to address environmental problems and support sustainable environmental management. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/138 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/138 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/138 lcc BK 0 4409 4409 0 0 lcc 0 0 SCI DL DL SCI QD1–QE601 2026-03-18 0 DUCE TD193.H58 2026-03-18 09:49:54 2026-03-18 BK
