Environmental Pollution Analysis (Paperback)

Environmental Pollution Analysis Book Description

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary science in the real sense. To appreciate nature and its vagaries, one requires an intimate knowledge of chemical, physical and biological sciences. It is presumed that the reader is quite conversant with the fundamental principles of analytical chemistry and that he is primarily interested to understand their applications in solving problems in the environment. The main aim here was to explain important aspects of a type of pollution and explain the principles and outline of methods of analysis. Only those methods practical to the Indian environment are considered.
The book covers important areas of environmental pollution analysis. An introductory chapter presents a grim picture on levels of pollution, while the next highlights important modern methods of analysis. Other topics covered in the book are toxic pollutants and their analysis, air pollution, water pollution analysis and chemical treatment. Chapters on industrial effluents as well as domestic effluents from the recyclability viewpoint are explained in detail as well as soil pollution, noise and odour pollution. Throughout the text along with method of analysis wherever possible monitoring methodology is also discussed.
It would be an asset for graduate and postgraduate students in chemistry and environmental science majoring in environmental analysis or monitoring as well as practicing environmental scientists, analytical chemists and serious research workers.
