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