ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY

Manahan (chemistry, University of Missouri-Columbia) builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions to develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry. This eighth edition emphasizes several emerging concepts in environmental chemistry, including the anthrosphere as a distinct sphere of the environment, the practice of industrial ecology as it applies to chemical science, and the emerging area of green chemistry. There is also a new chapter on terrorism, red chemistry, and threats to the environment.
