Description

This section discusses the concept of environmental science, particularly emphasizing the interconnectedness of the Earth's environmental compartments—air, water, soil, and living organisms—and how they interact within the broader context of environmental chemistry. The focus is on understanding the roles these components play in environmental processes and their effects on pollution and sustainability. The chapter further elaborates on environmental chemical processes, examining the dynamics of trace gases in the atmosphere, the rapid chemical reactions in aquatic systems, and how these interactions are governed by thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. It also covers the complexities of chemical pollution in freshwaters, the importance of understanding sediment and water interactions, and the behavior of chemicals within different environments.

Abstract

Environmental science explores the complex interactions between terrestrial, atmospheric, aquatic, and living environments, emphasizing the impact of human technology on these systems. One of the key components of environmental science is Environmental Chemistry, which helps in understanding the behavior of pollutants, nutrients, and trace substances across different environmental compartments. This chapter provides an in-depth look at how these compartments—such as the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere—are interrelated and affect each other. It also discusses environmental chemical processes and the mechanisms behind pollution phenomena in freshwater systems. Special attention is given to the role of sediments in pollution dynamics and the historical record of chemical pollutants through sediment layers in lakes and rivers. The chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding both chemical thermodynamics and kinetics to predict the behavior of pollutants in various environmental media.
