The Science of Global Change: The Impact of Human Activities on the Environment: The Impact of Human Activity on the Environment: No. 483 - Rilegato

Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Environmental Chemistry of the ACS, this volume, written for the scientifically literate nonspecialist, explores the interaction among the various elements of the global environment, emphasizing those components that affect the health and stability of the biosphere. It brings together researchers in prominent areas of global environmental concern, including chemistry, biology, and geophysics to examine such topics as the atmospheric component, the aquatic component, the terrestrial component, the global carbon cycle and climate change, and global environmental chemistry education.
