Includes bibliographical references and index
Environmental Chemistry provides a comprehensive introduction to the chemical processes that occur in the environment and the impact of human activities on air, water, soil, and living systems. The book explains the sources, reactions, transport, and fate of chemical substances in natural systems, emphasizing how pollutants are generated, distributed, and controlled. It explores key areas such as atmospheric chemistry (including air pollution and ozone depletion), aquatic chemistry (water quality and treatment), and geochemistry (soil and earth systems). The concept of the anthrosphere—human-made systems and their interaction with the natural environment—is highlighted to show how industrial activities affect ecological balance
