The Science of Global Warming Remediation

About this book

The Science of Global Warming Remediation examines the workings of a complex chemical system using concepts such as chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and oxidation/reduction. It focuses on preventing environmental deterioration as well as using environmental chemistry for environmental clean-up, or remediation. Further, it describes how to utilize mechanical, chemical, and biological methods to detoxify contaminated land or water. The book also considers how environmental legislation aims to modify human behavior so as to reduce or eliminate the environmental threats identified through science.
