Description
This book presents a timely exploration of research topics in environmental chemistry of lakes and reservoirs. It includes coverage of methodological advances in studies of lake geochemistry; cycling and distribution of major elements in aquatic systems; behavior of trace metals, with an emphasis on processes that control their solubility and transport, and behavior and fate of organic contaminants. It is a valuable reading for chemists, environmental engineers, biologists, and scientists involved in practical aspects of water pollution.
