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.

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

Environmental chemistry by NPTEL

This NPTEL online lecture series will go through an in-depth discussion on environmental chemistry, especially with respect to atmospheric composition, the behavior of contaminants, and natural degradation pathways. Lectures cover control techniques in air pollution, the major sources of water pollution, and the processes of water treatment. In addition, the lecture deals with soil pollution: its causes, effects, and remedial measures. Special attention is accorded to contaminants and their interactions with the environment, so this is a great book for students and researchers alike, interested in knowing the influence of chemical processes on the environment and how these can be abated through technological and chemical means.

Environmental Chemistry Lecture Notes by Asoka Marasinghe

This lecture note is an introduction to key environmental chemistry topics. It begins with the composition of the atmosphere and pollutants responsible for environmental degradation. The topics discussed include the Chapman cycle, protection of the ozone layer, and the seasonal depletion of ozone in Antarctica. Principles of combustion, alternative fuels, and the role of water in environmental sustainability are also covered in it. This occupies a good part of the note-writing; acid rain, and its impact on the environment. It is basically important reading to those students who wish to link chemistry with environmental protection.
