An excellent knowledge base in soil and water chemistry —the ideal basic text for students of the environmental sciencesIn Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry, leading soil and water authority V. P. Evangelou presents a complete overview of the principles and applications of soil science, addressing the subject by viewing the interactions between soil and water as a basis for understanding the nature, extent, and treatment of polluted soil and water. The text opens with a discussion of principles—the fundamental tenets of chemistry needed to understand soil and water quality and treatment of polluted resources—and continues with a look at applications for the control and treatment of soil and water. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this extensive, timely volume covers:* Water chemistry and mineral solubility; soil minerals and surface chemical properties and their behavior; and electrochemistry and kinetics* The control of agricultural chemical pollution and land disturbance pollution; colloids and transport processes in soils; and technologies for measuring quality and executing treatment* Specific chemical contaminants and the procedures for their neutralizationIn a world where chemical pollutants pose a grave threat to the earth's natural resources, Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry offers students both an excellent textbook and a handy reference on the wide spectrum of environmental problems they will confront outside the classroom. Booknews Writing for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, the author presents an overview of the principles and applications of soil science, addressing the subject by viewing the interaction between soil and water as a basis for understanding the nature, extent, and treatment of polluted water. Topics discussed include water chemistry and mineral solubility, electrochemistry and kinetics, the control of agricultural chemical land disturbance pollution, colloids and transport processes in soils, and specific chemical contaminants and the procedures for their neutralization.
