Environmental chemistry is that branch of chemical science that deals with the production, transport, reactions, effects, and fates of chemical species in the water, air, terrestrial, and biological environments and the effects of human activities thereon. It can be defined as the study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the air, soil, and water environments; and the effect of human activity on these. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary science that includes atmospheric, aquatic and soil chemistry, as well as heavily relying on analytical chemistry and being related to environmental and other areas of science. Environmental chemistry involves first understanding how the uncontaminated environment works, which chemicals in what concentrations are present naturally, and with what effects. The present book deals with all the important dimensions of this subject. It is a valuable reference source for all those concerned with this subject.
