The "Dictionary" reflects environmental science as a Renaissance field, collating the language of professionals in many different disciplines, including biology, meteorology, chemistry, microbiology, physics, social science, geology, medicine, engineering and economics. More than 3,000 definitions from "acid rain" to "zero population growth" cover all the scientific phenomena, government legislation, and environmental research the reader is likely to encounter. The entries cover all significant terms, events, individuals and organizations including alpha decay, ambient noise, asbestos, benzene, biomass, carcinogens, the Clear Air Act, cosmic rays, dioxin, ecosphere, Environmental Protection Agency, emission standards and much more. The book is designed for students, teachers, scientists and anyone wishing to research any term or subject related to environmental science.
