An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry by M Fazal ur Rehman

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.

Atmospheric Environmental Chemistry

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.

Chemicals in the Environment Toxicology and Public Health

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.
