Stanley E Manahan

Fundamentals of Environmental and Toxicological Chemistry

Sustainable Science, Fourth Edition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers university-level environmental chemistry, with toxicological chemistry integrated throughout the content. This new edition of a bestseller provides an updated text with an increased emphasis on sustainability and green chemistry. Organized based on the five spheres of Earth's environment-the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and anthrosphere-the book presents discussions of each sphere based upon the nature, pollution, and sustainability of the sphere. For readers needing additional basic chemistry background, the book includes two chapters on general chemistry and organic chemistry.

Autorenporträt

Stanley E. Manahan is a professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he has been on the faculty since 1965. He earned his AB in chemistry from Emporia State University in Kansas in 1960 and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Kansas in 1965. Since 1968, his primary research and professional activities have been in environmental chemistry, with recent emphasis on hazardous waste treatment. His latest research involves the gasification of wastes and sewage sludge and crop by-product biomass for energy production. Dr. Manahan has taught courses on environmental chemistry, hazardous wastes, toxicological chemistry, and analytical chemistry and has lectured on these topics throughout the United States as an American Chemical Society Local Sections tour speaker and in a number of countries, including France, Italy, Austria, Japan, Mexico, and Venezuela. He has written books on environmental chemistry, green chemistry, water chemistry, energy, general chemistry, environmental geology, the Anthropocene, climate change, environmental science, hazardous wastes and industrial ecology, toxicological chemistry, applied chemistry, and quantitative chemical analysis. Dr. Manahan is the author or coauthor of approximately 90 research articles.
