Overview
Basic Concepts of Environmental Chemistry describes the behavior and effects of both natural and man-made organic substances in the environment. It is the first book to explain environmental properties in terms of bonds and molecules, and the first to include toxicity and biological effects among the important properties of organic chemicals. From the characteristics of molecules, to properties of compounds, through distribution and behavior in the environment, and on to effects on living systems, this is a complete look at organic substances, not just a collection of facts. Using the most current information available, it presents not just an introduction to environmental chemistry but also an explanation of how and why environmental processes occur."...describes the behavior and effects of both natural and man-made organic substances in the environment...explains environmental properties in terms of bonds and molecules... covers toxicity and biological effects."
