Product Description
Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition builds on the same organizational structure validated in previous editions tosystematically develop the principles, tools, and techniques of environmental chemistry to provide students and professionals with a clear understanding of the science and its applications. Revised and updated since the publication of the best-selling Seventh Edition, this text continues to emphasize the major concepts essential to the practice of environmental science, technology, and chemistry while introducing the newest innovations to the field. The author provides clear explanations to important concepts such as the anthrosphere, industrial ecosystems, geochemistry, aquatic chemistry, and atmospheric chemistry, including the study of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. The subject of industrial chemistry and energy resources is supported by pertinent topics in recycling and hazardous waste. Several chapters review environmental biochemistry and toxicology, and the final chapters describe analytical methods for measuring chemical and biological waste. New features in this edition include: enhanced coverage of chemical fate and transport; industrial ecology, particularly how it is integrated with green chemistry; conservation principles and recent accomplishments in sustainable chemical science and technology; a new chapter addressing terrorism and threats to the environment; and the use of real world examples. |

Un excellent book 
Environmental Chemistry contains the essentiel concepts to the practice
and the understanding of industrial ecology and green chemistry. The
structure of the book is very clear. It is a greate pleasure to reed it.

Good Reference Text; Poor Class Text 
I used this text a few years ago when I was writing a paper on ethics of pesticide use, and it certainly details information well. However, the general tone is often anal and the writing style is extremely drab. Most of the diagrams included were generated using low-budget graphics software, and it shows. At 811 pages, this is an overly long book and not all the chapters (24 total) can be covered in a single Echem course. Also, there is no solutions manual and the problems Manahan gives are challening (a section of numerical solutions placed in the back of the text would have been nice...) This is a good reference text, but if you're looking for a semester-long or short-term text to use for an Echem course, use Baird's text, not Manahan's.

Environmental Chemisty Review 
This text is well written. The author give a understanding of Environmental Chemistry. The reader gets a good understanding of basic chemistry as well as a understanding of the effects of Chemistry on the environment.

Text is good in introduction of topics, poor for advanced 
Text gives good introduction to concepts only and not good for advanced studies because not explain how to apply the concepts to real world problems. It lacks in calculations needed to sovle problems and has no solution guide for the questions that are in the text. A lot of reference texts will be needed to solve the problems. No periodic table found in the text or conversion chart in the text which is very poor for a chemistry text. But it is an excellent text for learning the concepts of environmental chemistry.

An excellent introduction to modern topics in e-chem. 
Manahan compiles many sources of information into one, easy to follow and compact reference. The only limitation of the text is the absence of sample calculations for solving the problems that come at the end of each chapter. Reference to a solutions guide would be helpful.
