Environmental Chemistry

by Colin Baird

Environmental Chemistry explores the relationship between chemistry and the environment from the chemical viewpoint. New pedagogy and structure make the Second Edition an even more flexible learning and teaching tool. The new edition has new problems providing an extra layer of challenge for students. By structuring the text in four parts--Air and Energy, Toxics, Water, Waste--and creating independently functioning individual chapters, the author permits instructors to pick and choose from a variety of topics. Now available packaged with a Scientific American Reader.

I was an Geochemistry major in undergrad, and this is one of the only textbooks that I still open up every once awhile to use as a reference. I prefer to use this rather than Google a topic or open up another chemistry text, because these authors have done a solid job of explaining the chemistry behind the topics. Very well-written, informative and great presentation of information.
