Physikalische Methoden zur Analyse, Verhinderung oder Schadensbegrenzung von Umweltproblemen diskutiert dieses Buch hinsichtlich sowohl der theoretischen Grundlagen als auch der experimentellen Umsetzung. Besprochen werden beispielsweise verschiedene spektroskopische Verfahren, umweltfreundliche Methoden der Energiegewinnung, der Transport von Schadstoffen in der Umwelt sowie Ursachen und Auswirkungen von Lärm. Diese neue Auflage widmet sich in verstärktem Maße der Spektreninterpretation. (09/99)

Report
"The book is well presented with good diagrams and figures. A feature of the book is the use of "excursions" on special topics that can be read separately and provide interest....Each chapter contains useful students exercises with notes to help with their solution...However, it is not just a book for students. It usefully brings together and explains the basic physics of many processes that are encountered in the modern world and will be invaluable to those concerned with environmental matters who are reminded of the constraints imposed by an industrialised society." (Bulletin of the Environmental Physics Group, Institute of Physics)
