11.4 Where can I find environmental chemistry information?
There are several standard texts used by environmental chemistry classes
that provide good general introductions, eg "Environmental Chemistry" [32]
"Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry [33], and "Environmental Organic
Chemistry" [34]. They should be available in most technical libraries. The
monthly journal "Environmental Science and Technology" covers most aspects
of environment chemistry. "Chemosphere" concentrates on toxins such as PCBs
and Dioxin, and " Science of the Total Environment also covers many aspects.
Government agencies such as the EPA also publish large amounts of
information, and many environmental groups also provide significant amounts
of technical information. There are a range of specialist texts that cover
specific pollutants, eg "Metals and their Compounds in the Environment:
Occurrence, Analysis and Biological Relevance" [35].
The sci.environment Usenet group may well be a better place to request
environmental chemistry information than sci.chem, but please remember
to move discussions to talk.environment.
