  • 978-1-118-04155-0
LOC classification:
  • DUCE TD193.H58
Online resources: Summary: Elements of Environmental Chemistry introduces the fundamental chemical processes that occur in the environment and explains how human activities influence these processes. The book focuses on the chemistry of the atmosphere, water, soil, and living systems, describing how natural and synthetic chemicals are produced, transported, transformed, and degraded in the environment. It examines key topics such as air pollution, water contamination, toxic chemicals, and global environmental issues. The text explains the sources of pollutants, their chemical reactions in natural systems, and their impacts on ecosystems and human health. It also discusses the analytical techniques used to detect environmental pollutants and the chemical principles behind environmental monitoring. Overall, the book provides a clear foundation in environmental chemistry, emphasizing the importance of understanding chemical behavior in natural systems to address environmental problems and support sustainable environmental management. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/138
