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.
