Baird is the introduction to this subject. The introduction introduces the reader to the three important components of environmental chemistry. It defines them and provides examples that illustrate the concepts. After the introduction, the book explains these concepts and presents an overview of each topic that is covered. There is one chapter per chemical element, and each chapter contains one chapter of general environmental chemistry and one chapter that focus on one particular aspect of environmental chemistry.In this section of the book, environmental chemistry is discussed using the four components of metallurgy, organic chemistry, and food science. Each of these sections covers a different topic in environmental chemistry. The chapters include: metals, organic chemistry, food science, and enzymes. An example is provided of the chemical reaction that occurs when two metals are combined with one another to make steel.The second chapter discusses ethanol production in an ethanol plant. It describes how alcohol is produced and the steps that have to be taken to make it. There is a chapter on the chemical process used to make hydrogen fuel and then another on how to convert water into hydrogen gas. Finally, there is a chapter about using natural gas to create fuel.The third chapter discusses carbon dioxide. It discusses how carbon dioxide is formed from various substances and how it can be removed from the atmosphere. There is also a discussion of how manmade carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Finally, a chapter discusses the usefulness of coal tar as a source of energy.A CBPG Technologies Quick Reference Card can be purchased from the CBPG website.
