Introduction

Environmental Chemistry is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles of chemistry and environmental science to study the chemical processes occurring in the environment. This subject is critical for understanding the interactions between natural systems and the chemical substances that influence them, whether they are naturally occurring or introduced by human activities.

Environmental Chemistry encompasses the study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the air, water, and soil environments. It plays a vital role in identifying and solving environmental problems, such as pollution, climate change, and the degradation of natural resources.

Objectives
