Principles of Environmental Chemistry

---

While this book is in its first edition, it nonetheless has a lengthy
pedigree, which derives from a book entitled Understanding Our Environment:
An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry and Pollution,
which ran to three editions, the last of which was published in 1999.
Understanding Our Environment has proved very popular as a student
textbook, but changes in the way that the subject is taught had necessitated
its splitting into two separate books.

When Understanding Our Environment was first published, neither
environmental chemistry nor pollution was taught in many universities,
and most of those courses which existed were relatively rudimentary. In
many cases, no clear distinction was drawn between environmental
chemistry and pollution and the two were taught largely hand in hand.
Nowadays, the subjects are taught in far more institutions and in a far
more sophisticated way. There is consequently a need to reflect these
changes in what would have been the fourth edition of Understanding
Our Environment, and after discussion with contributors to the third
edition and with the Royal Society of Chemistry, it was decided to divide
the former book into two and create new books under the titles respectively
of An Introduction to Pollution Science and Principles of Environmental
Chemistry. Because of the authoritative status of the authors of
Understanding Our Environment and highly positive feedback which we
had received on the book, it was decided to retain the existing chapters
where possible while updating the new structure to enhance them
through the inclusion of further chapters.

This division of the earlier book into two new titles is designed to
accommodate the needs of what are now two rather separate markets.
An Introduction to Pollution Science is designed for courses within
degrees in environmental sciences, environmental studies and related
areas including taught postgraduate courses, which are not embedded in
a specific physical science or life science discipline such as chemistry,
physics or biology. The level of basic scientific knowledge assumed of
the reader is therefore only that of the generalist and the book should be
accessible to a very wide readership including those outside of the
academic world wishing to acquire a broadly based knowledge of
pollution phenomena. The second title, Principles of Environmental
Chemistry assumes a significant knowledge of chemistry and is aimed
far more at courses on environmental chemistry which are embedded
within chemistry degree courses. The book will therefore be suitable for
students taking second or third year option courses in environmental
chemistry or those taking specialised Masters’ courses, having studied
the chemical sciences at first-degree level.
