Overview

Environmental chemistry is the branch of science that focuses on the chemical and biochemical processes occurring in natural environments. It investigates the sources, reactions, effects, and transport of chemical species in soil, water, and air, as well as the impact of human and biological activities on these systems. As an interdisciplinary field, environmental chemistry integrates principles from soil chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and aquatic chemistry. It has practical applications in detecting pollutants such as heavy metals, aromatic hydrocarbons, and organometallic compounds in water bodies and organic systems. Phenomena such as algal blooms and eutrophication are also studied within this field. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of environmental chemistry. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline and how such concepts have practical applications. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
