The field of environmental chemistry has evolved significantly since the publication of the firstedition of Environmental Chemistry. During this time, the first Nobel Prize for environmen-tal chemistry was awarded and the field’s focus has shifted from pollution and its effects to itscurrent emphasis on sustainability. These updated classics combine the latest information inthe field with environmental chemist Stanley Manahan’s renowned expertise.

New in the Ninth Edition:• Revised discussion of sustainability

and environmental science • Updates information on chemical

fate and transport, cycles of matter • Examination of the connection

between environmental chemistry and green chemistry

• Coverage of transgenic crops • Discussion of the role of energy in

sustainability • Potential use of toxic substances in

terrorist attacks

New in the Third Edition:• Increased emphasis on the applied

aspects of environmental chemistry • Hot topics such as global warming

and biomass energy • Discussion of the role of water in the

environment and as a green, renewable resource

• Revised discussion of the protective role of the atmosphere

• Integration of green chemistry and sustainability concepts throughout the text

• Requires little or no knowledge of chemistry
