Résumé :	The book describes the chemistry of natural systems, their composition and the processes and reactions that operate within and between the various compartements. Without focussing specifically on pollution, it also dicusses ways in which these systems respond to perturbation, either those that are natural or those that are caused by humans. Background material from subjects atmospheric science, limnology,and soil science is provided in order to establish a settig for a description of the relevant chemistry. Emphasis is on general principles that can be applied in variety of circumstances. At the same time, these principles are illustrated with examples taken from around the world. because of issues of the environment related to every society, care has been taken to relate the subject material to situation in urban and rural areas in both higthly industrialized and low-income countries. In each chapter, the book: features well-known environmental issues; provides worked examples and problems; teaches how to approach environmental problems that go beyond the material presented in the book.
