Description
Book SynopsisEquilibrium inorganic chemistry underlies the composition and properties of the aquatic environment and provides a sound basis for understanding both natural geochemical processes and the behaviour of inorganic pollutants in the environment. This clear and progressive introduction to the topic uses a wide range of examples to explain the behaviour of chemical species in aquatic systems.
Trade Review'This book represents a solid introduction to the problems of aquatic environmental chemistry, which will be useful to teachers and students alike.' * G. P. Glasby, Chemistry in Britain *
