Carbon dioxide chemistry environmental issues : [proceedings of an International Symposium on CO2 Chemistry organized by the Swedish Chemical Society and held in Hemavan, Sweden, on 20 - 24 September, 1993

This book derives from a workshop held in Sweden to examine the environmental implications of the dramatic increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in the last 50 years and to find ways of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This multi-disciplinary approach makes it essential reading not only for chemists but for all engineers, biologists and environmentalists concerned with this crucially important issue.
