Review:

The Chemistry of Pollution provides an excellent overview of the important chemical aspects of pollution, occuring in the atmosphere, water and soil, divided up in common harmful substances, toxins and radioisotopes.

The book gives a very clear-cut demonstration of the multiplicity of environmental problems, through the use of clear examples and relations. This makes the book suitable for students, as well as anyone else who is interested in the chemical principles of environmental pollutants.
