The standard-setting classic just got better! Completely revised and updated since the publication of the sixth edition, Environmental Chemistry, Seventh Edition contains eight new chapters, with significant emphasis on industrial ecology as it relates to the emerging area of "green" chemistry. It also discusses the concept of the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment.
The new chapters in the Seventh Edition include:

The Anthrosphere, Industrial Ecosystems, and

Environmental Chemistry

Principles of Industrial Ecology

Industrial Ecology, Resources, and Energy

Industrial Ecology for Waste Minimization, Utilization, and Treatment

Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastewater

Chemical Analysis of Wastes and Solids

Air and Gas Analysis

Chemical Analysis of Biological Materials

Xenobiotics
Many professionals in environmental chemistry today began their studies with this definitive textbook. Now this benchmark resource has even more to offer. It gives your students a basic understanding of the science and its applications. In addition to providing updated materials in this rapidly developing field, the Seventh Edition emphasizes the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental chemistry at the beginning of the new millennium.

Review:

"This is a reference book, highly recommended for students and professors involved in specialized courses in environmental chemistry, and for those individuals interested in getting a general knowledge of this multidisciplinary science." International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, July 2005

From the Back Cover:

Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions to systematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications.

Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition, this text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations to the field. The author provides clear explanations to important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, aquatic chemistry, and atmospheric chemistry, including the study of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. The subject of industrial chemistry and energy resources is supported by pertinent topics in recycling and hazardous waste. Several chapters review environmental biochemistry and toxicology, and the final chapters describe analytical methods for measuring chemical and biological waste.

New features in this edition include: enhanced coverage of chemical fate and transport; industrial ecology, particularly how it is integrated with green chemistry; conservation principles and recent accomplishments in sustainable chemical science and technology; a new chapter addressing terrorism and threats to the environment; and the use of real world examples.
