Environmental organic chemistry / René P. Schwarzenbach, Philip M. Gschwend, Dieter M. Imboden.
Environmental Organic Chemistry focuses on environmental factors that govern the processes that determine the fate of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems. The information discovered is then applied to quantitatively assessing the environmental behaviour of organic chemicals. Now in i...
