Environmental Chemistry Solutions Manual

This guide to environmental chemistry covers major topical issues, including the greenhouse effect, the ozone layer, pesticides, and air and water pollution. The text offers an active problem-solving approach, with exercises incorporated throughout each chapter.

Contains complete solutions for all in-chapter problems.

This manual contains the worked solutions to the end-of-chapter problems presented in the parent undergraduate textbook, Enviromental Chemistry by van Loon and Duffy. Problem solving is an indispensible aspect of learning, giving students a feel for the quantities involved and how to manipulate them. These worked problems supplement the main book.
