1. An annotated bibliography of the chemistry of pollution and resources
Environmental chemistry, in the view of the authors, is a broadly-based subject in which chemical principles can he applied to the current problems of mineral resources, solid wastes, recycling of materials, and the effects of foreign substances on living systems in addition to the more familiar topics of air and water chemistry. I t is felt that chemists play a central role in finding solutions for current and future problems in these areas and the interrelationships among them. (Energy and energy-related topics, also closely meshed with all of the above, have been treated in an earlier bibliopraphg . . ~.[J.CHEM. EDUC., 52, 288 (1975)l). In order t o facilitate the inlroduction of environmental tupics i n chemistry nuries, at all le\,els d the undergraduate curriculum, thk results of comhing the diverse and often elusive literature of the subject during the past several years are presented. The bibliography is divided into the following areas: General; Air; and Resources, Wastes, and Recycling which appear here in Part I. Water; Life and Health; Population; and Science and Government will a . m.e a r in Part I1 next month. The numbering of references will run consecutively throuehout the two Darts. Each area has been divided into sub-topics, as appropriate, which have been arranged generallv in the order of increasing complexity. Where it exists,;nformation about experiments, comp&er models and simulations. and films has been included in addition to the traditional sources-hooks, periodicals, abstracts, and government documents.
