The intent of this book is to provide a bench-mark for the current application of NMR spectroscopy to research problems in environmental science and technology, and also to demonstrate the diversity and breadth of environmental research problems that NMR spectroscopy can address. Divided into three sections: Contaminant Interaction, Solution and Condensed Phase Characterization, and Nutrient and Natural Organic Matter Cycling in the Environment, each one contains an overview chapter that provides a discussion as to why and how NMR spectroscopy has advanced research in these areas.Topics in Environmental ChemistryThe purpose of this series is to provide fundamental books for the many students and professionals working at the very active and important interface of chemistry, environmental science, and engineering. This series is edited by a prestigious editorial board.

This book demonstrates the usefulness of NMR spectroscopy for a wide variety of applications in environmental science and technology. It contains a wealth of information relating to instrumentation, sample preparation, and data interpretation. The book is divided into three sections discussing contaminant interaction, solution and condensed-phase characterization, and nutrients and natural organic matter characterization. In addition to these in-depth chapters, an introductory overview provides the basic principles of solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Each section also contains a discussion of advances in each area directly attributable to NMR spectroscopy. A final chapter suggests future directions for the deployment of this powerful technology in environmental science.

Disinfection By-Products in Water Treatment describes new government regulations related to disinfection by-products. It explains the formation of microorganism by-products during water treatment and the methods employed to control them.The book includes several chapters on chlorine by-products and discusses techniques for the removal of chloroform from drinking water. It also describes gamma radiation techniques for removing microorganic by-product precursors from natural waters and the removal of bromate from drinking water.
