• Topics range from familiar global issues such as atmospheric pollution and its effect on global warming and ozone destruction, to microbiological processes that cause pollution of drinking water deltas.
• Contains sections and information boxes that explain the basic chemistry underpinning the subject covered.
• Each chapter contains a list of further reading on the subject area. Updated case studies.
• No prior chemistry knowledge required.
