The Elements of Environmental Pollution provides a clear and user-friendly text that clearly explains the nature and extent of environmental pollution and provides the necessary scientific background in environmental chemistry and biogeochemistry. The book illustrates how local and global pollution problems arise from human activity disturbing natural elemental cycles and our introduction of hazardous materials into the natural world. A key feature of the book is its structural focus on individual elements, their natural and anthropogenic pathways around the earth system and the real world consequences of this dynamic flow. This clearly written and comprehensive text contains a wealth of features to assist student learning, including end of chapter summaries and questions, suggestions for further reading and relevant websites, as well as its own companion website providing additional instructor and student resources.

Environmental pollution is one of humanity’s most pressing issues and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Anthropogenic activity is disturbing natural cycles and generating pollutants that are altering the atmosphere, accumulating in the food chain and contaminating the world’s soils, rivers and oceans. Human health and ecosystems continue to be damaged by toxic metals, persistent organic pollutants, radionuclides and other hazardous materials. The Elements of Environmental Pollution provides comprehensive coverage of this essential subject. It explains the key principles of pollution science, assesses human disturbances of natural element cycles and describes local and global pollution impacts, from smoggy cities, polluted lakes and toxic soils to climate change, ocean acidification and marine dead zones. The book is informed by the latest pollution research and benefits from numerous real-world examples and international case studies. A comprehensive glossary provides clear and concise explanations of key concepts.

This textbook will support teaching and learning in environment-related university courses and will be vital reading for anyone with an interest in environmental protection.
