Green Chemistry
by Rebecca L. Lankey and Paul T. Anastas (editors) · Anastas
American Chemical Society symposium volume in which researchers examine how green chemistry and engineering principles apply to industrial processes, life-cycle assessment, and policy. Readers come away understanding how sustainability metrics are built into chemical design decisions.

Marine Chemistry (MIT 12.742)
Graduate introduction to chemical oceanography: reservoir models and residence time, seawater major ions, river, atmosphere and seafloor fluxes, particle cycling, and carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen and sulfur cycles. 12 recorded lectures, slide notes and problem sets explain ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO2.
Environmental Chemistry
Manahan's survey textbook covering water, air, soil, and industrial chemistry alongside toxicological chemistry and waste treatment. Provides the vocabulary and reaction fundamentals needed to read environmental pollution literature, with each chapter built on general chemistry background.
Chemistry of the Environment
Undergraduate text organized around energy, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere, tracing pollution problems back to underlying chemical mechanisms. Readers gain a quantitative basis for evaluating claims about climate, ozone depletion, acid rain, and water quality.
