Synopsis:

"Chemical Fate and Transport in the Enviromment" is a textbook for upper division undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental sciences in engineering, hydrology, chemistry, and other related disciplines. It covers the fundamental principles of mass transport and chemical partitioning, and the transformation of substances in surface water, in groundwater or subsurface environments, and in the atmosphere. Three major areas - surface water, ground water, and air - are covered, with descriptive overviews for each area. Each major section begins by describing the environment: its controlling physical, chemical, and biological processes. The book also contains examples of common environmental problems and includes problem sets at the end of each chapter. Text that has been developed from a course taught at MIT. Broad-based coverage of the environmental sciences. A more rigorous treatment of transport than found in other texts with exercise sets at the end of each chapter. Examples of current environmental problems are fully integrated into the text and there are ample references for access to the primary literature. Numerous illustrations are provided throughout.

Review: "...Covers almost all of the necessary topics for a straight environmental chemistry course. The strength of this book is the excellent quantitative approach that it presents to solving problems. Each section has worked example problems throughout the text, and concludes with 25 or more problems. An excellent solution manual is available."
- ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

"...a succinct, yet substantive, review of chemical fate and transport processes in the environment...I recommend this book as an excellent overview of chemicals in the environment for student training and general support for the practicing environmental scientist."
- Garth W. Redfield, for JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION
