This lecture note provides a comprehensive introduction to environmental chemistry, focusing on the chemical processes that shape the environment. It covers the structure of the atmosphere, temperature inversion, photochemical smog, and issues such as acid rain, greenhouse gases, and global warming. The note delves into the depletion of the ozone layer and various forms of water pollution, including eutrophication and wastewater treatment. Additionally, it addresses the principles of metal extraction, soil pH, ion exchange, and the availability of plant nutrients. Topics on green chemistry, recycling, CO2 sequestration, and green synthesis make this a crucial resource for understanding the intersection of chemistry and environmental science. Ideal for students in environmental science, chemistry, and related fields, this note also provides practical solutions to pressing environmental challenges.

This lecture note covers most of the core aspects of environmental science, focusing on pollution and waste management: air pollution, water pollution, and treatment and methods of water treatment both as a theoretical background and real-life insights. This includes oil contamination in both freshwater and marine waters, where a discussion of effects and how to treat oil spills comes into play. A section on Hazardous Waste discusses sources, disposal methods, and impact on the environment. That's helpful for a student or environmental scientist interested in discussing pollution problems but also possible solutions.

This NPTEL online lecture series will go through an in-depth discussion on environmental chemistry, especially with respect to atmospheric composition, the behavior of contaminants, and natural degradation pathways. Lectures cover control techniques in air pollution, the major sources of water pollution, and the processes of water treatment. In addition, the lecture deals with soil pollution: its causes, effects, and remedial measures. Special attention is accorded to contaminants and their interactions with the environment, so this is a great book for students and researchers alike, interested in knowing the influence of chemical processes on the environment and how these can be abated through technological and chemical means.

This lecture note deals with the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere, which includes both stratospheric and tropospheric chemistry. It encompasses the processes involved in the formation and destruction of ozone, the chemistry involved in the formation of smog, precipitation, and atmospheric aerosols. Urban and indoor atmospheres are discussed as well, including the role of air pollutants and their impacts on human health and the environment. Subsequently, the book focuses specifically on global climate chemistry whereby all the changes in the atmospher, which contribute to climate changes, will be well-eloquently expressed to this reader. This book could be the best source among students for those pursuing knowledge in atmospheric sciences, environment chemistry, and global climates.

This lecture note is an introduction to key environmental chemistry topics. It begins with the composition of the atmosphere and pollutants responsible for environmental degradation. The topics discussed include the Chapman cycle, protection of the ozone layer, and the seasonal depletion of ozone in Antarctica. Principles of combustion, alternative fuels, and the role of water in environmental sustainability are also covered in it. This occupies a good part of the note-writing; acid rain, and its impact on the environment. It is basically important reading to those students who wish to link chemistry with environmental protection.

This note tackles the very complex issue of the relationship between environmental chemicals and human health. It explores epidemiological approaches to disease causation, biostatistical methods for evaluating chemical exposure, and the effects of chemical reactions within the body. The content covers risk assessment techniques used in the U.S. for regulatory decision-making and public health policy. It is a must for students in the fields of toxicology, environmental health, and public health: it offers a challenging examination of interactions between environmental chemicals and human biology and the approaches used to evaluate and counteract their risks.
