Buch, Englisch, 768 Seiten, Format (B × H): 178 mm x 254 mm

With clear explanations, real-world examples and updated ancillary material, the 12th edition of Environmental Chemistry emphasizes the concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology and chemistry. The format and organization popular in preceding editions is used, including an approach based upon the five environmental spheres and the relationship of environmental chemistry to the key concepts of sustainability, industrial ecology and green chemistry. The new edition provides a comprehensive view of key environmental issues, and significantly looks at diseases and pandemics as an environmental problem influenced by other environmental concerns like climate change.

Key Features

- The most trusted and best-selling text for environmental chemistry has been fully updated and expanded once again.

- The authors have preserved the basic format with appropriate updates including a comprehensive overview of key environmental issues and concerns.

- New to this important text is material on the threat of pathogens and disease, deadly past pandemics that killed millions, recently emerged diseases and the prospects for more environment threats related to disease.

- New! Long-awaited companion website featuring additional ancillary material.

- This outstanding legacy appeals to a wide audience and can also be an ideal interdisciplinary book for graduate students with degrees in a variety of disciplines other than chemistry.

Über Autor(innen)

Lauren Heine, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized leader in green chemistry, sustainable materials management, and chemical hazard assessment. She is a Senior Fellow at the Green Science Policy Institute, where she leads the Detoxifying Plastics initiative. Earlier in her career, she served as an AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Chemistry Program and co-developed GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals and CleanGredients®, pioneering tools for identifying safer chemicals in products and manufacturing. She later co-founded ChemFORWARD, a global repository of chemical hazard assessments. Dr. Heine has helped bridge environmental chemistry, toxicology, and sustainable product design by advancing the use of chemical hazard assessment in supply chains and product development. She has contributed to international initiatives on sustainable materials management and safer chemistry, including work with the OECD, and has served on the California Green Ribbon Science Panel and as co-chair of Apple’s Green Chemistry Advisory Board. Her contributions to this edition strengthen its coverage of green chemistry, sustainable materials, and chemical hazard assessment.

Bradley A. Striebig, Ph.D. has more than 30 years of experience in environmental engineering education. He helped develop new programs focused on sustainability and environmental engineering at Unity Environmental University and James Madison University, where he is a Professor of Engineering. Dr. Striebig's expertise spans environmental chemistry, biological and physical treatment processes, sustainable engineering, life cycle assessment, and water resources. His research and teaching emphasize sustainable design, environmental restoration, engineering ethics, and global access to clean water. He has led or collaborated on more than $7 million in externally funded research and has worked on sustainability and water projects throughout Africa, India, and the United States. Dr. Striebig is also co-author of the award-winning textbook Engineering Applications in Sustainable Design and Development, recognized by the Textbook & Academic Authors Association with its Most Promising New Textbook Award. His contributions to this edition strengthen its integration of engineering principles, sustainability, and practical environmental problem-solving.

Margaret H. ("Meg") Whittaker, Ph.D., M.P.H., D.A.B.T., E.R.T., CBiol., F.R.S.B. is Managing Director and Chief Toxicologist of ToxServices LLC. She is an internationally recognized expert in toxicology, human health risk assessment, and chemical hazard assessment. Dr. Whittaker has pioneered the application of alternatives assessment and safer chemistry in product design and certification programs and has served as technical lead for the U.S. EPA Safer Choice Program, GreenScreen® for Safer Chemicals, ChemFORWARD, and numerous international certification systems. Her expertise strengthens this edition through the integration of contemporary toxicology and human health considerations into environmental chemistry.
