Chemical Fate and Transport in the Environment - Hardcover

"Chemical Fate and Transport in the Enviromment" is a textbook for upper division undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental sciences in engineering, hydrology, chemistry, and other related disciplines. It covers the fundamental principles of mass transport and chemical partitioning, and the transformation of substances in surface water, in groundwater or subsurface environments, and in the atmosphere. Three major areas - surface water, ground water, and air - are covered, with descriptive overviews for each area. Each major section begins by describing the environment: its controlling physical, chemical, and biological processes. The book also contains examples of common environmental problems and includes problem sets at the end of each chapter. Text that has been developed from a course taught at MIT. Broad-based coverage of the environmental sciences. A more rigorous treatment of transport than found in other texts with exercise sets at the end of each chapter. Examples of current environmental problems are fully integrated into the text and there are ample references for access to the primary literature. Numerous illustrations are provided throughout.
