Environmental Soil Chemistry illustrates fundamental principles of soil chemistry with respect to environmental reactions between soils and other natural materials and heavy metals, pesticides, industrial contaminants, acid rain, and salts. Timely and comprehensive discussions of applications to real-world environmental concerns are a central focus of this established text.

<*> Provides students with both sound contemporary training in the basics of soil chemistry and applications to real-world environmental concerns
<*> Timely and comprehensive discussion of important concepts including: sorption/desorption, oxidation-reduction of metals and organics, and effects of acidic deposition and salinity on contaminant reacions
<*> Boxed sections focus on sample problems and explanations of key terms and parameters
<*> Extensive tables on elemental composition of soils, rocks and sediments, pesticide classes, inorganic minerals, and methods of decontaminating soils
<*> Clearly written for all students and professionals in environmental science and environmental engineering as well as soil science


Summary: Very good!
Rating: 5

The book is very good. I received the product before the date stipulated by Amazon. I am satisfied.

Summary: For a class
Rating: 4

This was required reading for a soil water chemistry course that I took. As the course was problem-based learning, this text came in handy as a resource.

Summary: Excellent Book about Environmental Soil Chemistry
Rating: 5

Professor Donald L. Sparks has managed to write an excellent and up-to-date book on important topics related to environmental soil chemistry. The book covers all the essential subjects needed for an in-depth understanding of all the complex soil processes that control the fate and transport of both inorganic and organic contaminants in the environment. The book also includes good descriptions of state-of-the-art instrumentations used in environmental soil chemistry such as synchrotron radiation-based X-ray techniques. I use this book in my course entitled “Soil and Environmental Chemistry” and the book has the perfect length for a one semester course and the students like it. I can highly recommend this book for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals.
