The handbook of environmental chemistry Vol. 1, pt. A. The natural environment and the biogeochemical cycles

An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemi- stry is to aid the understanding of distribution and chemi- cal reaction processes which occur in the environment. It is designed to serve as an important source forenvironmental scientists and decision-makers in industry, governmental and regulatory bodies. Volume 1F is dedicated to geosphere interactions, environmental inorganic geochemistry and the evolution of matter and energy.
