Features: This book is a textbook for the chemical foundation course in environmental science, widely adopted abroad. It focuses on introducing chemical knowledge particularly valuable for solving environmental problems and presents the foundation of environmental engineering practice and research—water and wastewater analysis. The book is divided into two parts: Environmental Science and Engineering Chemical Principles and Water and Wastewater Analysis Chemistry. The first part introduces general chemistry, physical chemistry, equilibrium chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, colloid chemistry, and nuclear chemistry required for environmental studies. The second part primarily covers water and wastewater analysis, including statistical analysis of analytical data, fundamental quantitative analysis, instrumental analysis methods, and the importance of various indicators, sampling and measurement techniques, and the application of analytical data. The book is equipped with numerous examples and exercises. It has a clear structure and concise content, making it suitable as a university textbook and also serving as a reference for science and technology workers engaged in environmental protection.
