Environmental chemistry WM-CH-473
Environmental chemistry covers issues relating to chemical and biochemical processes occurring in nature. It deals with the processes occurring on the surface of the Earth and near – in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and terrestrial environment.
Full description of the global environment requires knowledge of the following components:
- composition and chemical structure of the main elements of the environment,
- physicochemical and chemical processes occurring on Earth,
- changes occurring in nature under the influence of impurities and phenomena caused by anthropogenic factors.
It also deals with the relationship between these elements.
The purpose of dealing with environmental chemistry is to provide a cleaner and healthier environment.
