This "pocket atlas" provides a concise overview of environmental chemistry problems throughout the ecosystem, such as: pollution in air, water and soil issues. It is unique in its graphical representation and condensed format and the quality and appeal of the full-colour diagrams are unmatched.
* Unique format with clear, full colour schematic diagrams making up 50% of the book
* Ideal as a revision aid and introductory text for undergraduates and post graduates, it is also accessible to all those working and consulting in the evironmental field and its relevant industries
"An Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry" ist die englische Übersetzung des erfolgreichen deutschen Originals. Ein umfassender und dennoch prägnanter Leitfaden zu den wichtigsten Problemen der Umweltchemie von Wasser, Boden und Luft, der auch Strategien für Umweltanalysen erörtet. Dieses Buch ist einzigartig in seiner Aufmachung: Der Textteil ist auf der einen Seite und die zugehörigen Farbabbildungen finden sich auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite. Die klaren, vollfarbigen schematischen Diagramme machen etwa die Hälfte des Buches aus. Es ist hervorragend geeignet zur Wiederholung des Stoffes oder als Einführung in die Umweltchemie. "An Essential Guide to Environmental Chemistry" - klein, handlich und immer parat: Umweltchemie für die Kitteltasche!
