Applications of Environmental Chemistry: A Practical Guide for Environmental Professionals: Eugene R. Weiner

Up until the 1950s, waste disposal meant discharging it to the nearest river, burning it up or shipping it out to sea. Now we are paying the price. Current disposal and cleanup regulations have a different focus: correcting the problems caused by earlier misguided attitudes and maintaining a non-degrading environment. State and Federal clean air and water acts have created the need to identify and measure chemical components that affect the quality of surface and ground waters and the soils through which they flow.The easy-to-use structure of this book makes it a handy resource. The author summarizes the chemistry topics most important in environmental applications. He includes frequently used data such as: water solubilities, partition coefficients, natural abundance of trace metals in soil, and federal drinking water standards. Lists containing "rules of thumb" supply methods for making quick estimations.Applications of Environmental Chemistry provides the basic equations, theories, and principles you need to understand - at a practical level - frequently encountered topics in environmental chemistry. It does not overwhelm you with excess information but answers your most frequently asked questions clearly and succinctly.

Summary: "Must have" book

Rating: 5

Dr. Weiner's guide on environmental chemistry is a "must have" for consulting engineers of almost any discipline if for no other reason than it is a quick read and a good reference that can help the practicing professional be an expert as well as sound like an expert.I appreciate his presentation of principles and theories in simplified form so that, when necessary, I can think things through, based on fundamentals. His rules are just what a practicing consulting engineer needs when dealing with new problems in the field where quick estimates are needed.It is obvious that Dr. Weiner has combined long years of experience as a chemistry professor from a good university with many years as an active water quality consultant, because he knows what professionals need to know and he knows how to explain it in a down-to-earth manner.What also is evident is that Dr. Weiner served on the Colorado State Regulators Board because he is able to explain what regulators usually inquire about. His eight years on the Colorado Water Quality Commission paid off for all of us grateful readers!In essence, Dr. Weiner has provided an easy-to-use book with a logical structure that makes it a handy resource. This book, though selling for nearly [...], will pay for itself many times over on your first water quality assignment. Thanks to the publishers for making it available.
