Understanding Environmental Pollution
APrimer
Understanding Environmental Pollution
systematically introduces pollution
issues to students and others with little scientific background. The first
edition received excellent reviews, and the new edition has been com-
pletely refined and updated.
The book moves from the definition of pollution and how pollutants
behave, to air- and water-pollution basics, pollution and global change,
solid waste, and pollution in the home. It also discusses persistent and
bioaccumulative chemicals and pesticides, and places greater emphasis
on global pollutants. The relationship between energy generation, its use,
and pollution is stressed, as well as the importance of going beyond pol-
lution control, to pollution prevention. Impacts on human and environ-
mental health are emphasized throughout. Students are often invited to
come to their own conclusions after having been presented with a variety
of opinions.
This textbook provides the basic concepts of pollution, toxicology, and
risk assessment for non-science majors as well as environmental-science
students.
Marquita Hill developed a number of environmental courses at the
University of Maine, including “Issues in Environmental Pollution,” an
interdisciplinary introductory course, and “Pollution Prevention and
Industrial Ecology” in the Department of Chemical Engineering. She was
for7years a visiting scholar in Environmental Health at the Harvard
School of Public Health, and was a founding member and the first presi-
dent of the Green Campus Consortium of Maine, an organization devoted
to finding sustainable means of management for the state’s institutions
of higher learning.
