This is the definitive text in a market consisting of senior and graduate environmental engineering students
who are taking a chemistry course. The text is divided into a chemistry fundamentals section and a section on water
and wastewater analysis. In this new edition, the authors have retained the thorough, yet concise, coverage of
basic chemical principles from general, physical, equilibrium, organic, biochemistry, colloid, and nuclear chemistry.
In addition, the authors have retained their classic two-fold approach of (1) focusing on the aspects of chemistry
that are particularly valuable for solving environmental problems, and (2) laying the groundwork for understanding
water and wastewater analysis-a fundamental basis of environmental engineering practice and research.
New to This Edition :
Revised and additional new problems.
Thoroughly updated all content to coincide with current environmental engineering practice.
Chapter on Statistical Analysis of Analytical Data.
Features :
Retains the two-fold approach.
Retain the thorough, yet concise coverage of basic chemical principles from general, physical, equilibrium,
organic, bio, colloid and nuclear chemistry.
