This text caters to a first course in chemistry taken by environmental engineers. The purpose of the book is twofold: to bring into focus those aspects of chemistry which are particularly valuable to environmental engineering practice, and to lay a groundwork of understanding in the area of specialized quantitative analysis, commonly referred to as water and wastewater analysis. Examples and homework problems occur throughout the text to reinforce the principles and enhance learning. This edition features a substantial revision of the organic chemistry sections, and additions include coverage of radiochemistry and statistical analysis. Example problems, some with solutions, allow students to test their progress and check their results immediately.
