Features: This book is divided into two main parts. The first part takes photochemistry and environmental issues as the starting point. It briefly introduces the basic knowledge of photochemistry and systematically introduces the main photochemical and photobiological processes of compounds in different natural environmental media. It elaborates in detail on the basic principles and mechanisms of these processes, and thoroughly discusses the disturbances caused by anthropogenic pollutants to these processes, their mechanisms, consequences, and impacts. The second part focuses on photochemistry for pollution control, emphasizing the application of photo-oxidation, photocatalytic oxidation, and photoreduction methods and technologies in pollutant degradation and treatment. Based on introducing relatively mature content, the book extensively reflects the latest research achievements and progress in domestic and international chemistry. This book can serve as a reference for researchers, engineering technicians, and professionals in environmental science and engineering, chemical engineering, and related fields. It can also be used as a teaching material for students and teachers in colleges and universities.
