Description

Environmental Chemistry is a relatively young science. Interest in this subject, however, is growing very rapidly and, although no agreement has been reached as yet about the exact content and limits of this interdisciplinary discipline, there appears to be increasing interest in seeing environmental topics which are based on chemistry embodied in this subject. One of the first objectives of Environmental Chemistry must be the study of the environment and of natural chemical processes which occur in the environment. A major purpose of this series on Environmental Chemistry, therefore, is to present a reasonably uniform view of various aspects of the chemistry of the environment and chemical reactions occurring in the environment. The industrial activities of man have given a new dimension to Environmental Chemistry. We have now synthesized and described over five million chemical compounds and chemical industry produces about hundred and fifty million tons of synthetic chemicals annually. We ship billions of tons of oil per year and through mining operations and other geophysical modifications, large quantities of inorganic and organic materials are released from their natural deposits. Cities and metropolitan areas of up to 15 million inhabitants produce large quantities of waste in relatively small and confined areas. Much of the chemical products and waste products of modern society are released into the environment either during production, storage, transport, use or ultimate disposal. These released materials participate in natural cycles and reactions and frequently lead to interference and disturbance of natural systems.

pt. B : gw ISBN 9783540509158

Description

An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry is to aid the understanding of distribution and chemical reaction processes which occur in the environment. Volume 4, Part B of this series is dedicated to Air Pollution Control Equipment, Materials Damage, Peroxyacyl Nitrates, Semivolatile Compounds in the Atmosphere, and Arctic Haze.

pt. C : gw ISBN 9783540539995

Description

Part of a series which compiles current knowledge of the processes in the natural environment and the behaviour and impact of pollutants, this volume contains essays on lichens as indicators of air pollution, morbidity associated with air pollution and mortality and air pollution.

Volume

pt. D : gw ISBN 9783540589327

Description

Airborne particulate matter - especially aerosols, its origin, its impact on our environment, and its properties - has been of great scientific and public concern for many years. In this volume experts discuss in depth all relevant issues of airborne particulate matter, including the characterisation of aerosols by modern physical and chemical methods.

Table of Contents

Particle Emission from Outdoor and Indoor Sources.- In Situ Particle Formation/Reaction Mechanisms.- Sources, Particle Size Distribution and Transport of Aeorsols.- Physical, Chemical and Optical Properties of Atmospheric Aerosols.- Chemical Mass Balance.- Sampling of Airborne Particulate Matter.- Analysis of Inorganic Particulate Pollutants by Nuclear Methods.- Methods for Measuring Atmospheric Acidic Particles and Gases.- Analysis of Organic Particulate Matter.- Particle Counting and Particle Size Analysis.- Particulate Emission Control.
