Synopsis

Environmental Particles describes properties, roles, and methods for the characterization of environmental particles in air, water, sediment, and soil. This book emphasizes modern methods for sampling, instrumental characterization methods, and physical/chemical principles for describing the properties and roles of particles in the environment (particularly their influence on the transport of toxic compounds). It will be an excellent reference source for environmental chemists and physicists, limnologists, oceanographers, air and soil scientists, analytical chemists, environmental engineers, scientists involved in environmental protection, and students.

About this title

Synopsis

This text presents a critical review of the sampling, characterization and behaviour of particles in air, surface and ground water, sediments and soils. It analyzes the formation, aggregation, transport and conversion of particles, and it evaluates the capabilities of physical and chemical methods of analysis. The book also discusses physico-chemical properties of environmental particles, their spectroscopic characterization and colloid chemical properties and how they affect biochemical and/or toxicological processes. It should be a useful reference for environmental chemists and physicists, limnologists, oceanographers, air and soil scientists, analytical chemists, environmental engineers and students.
