Features: Environmental chemistry is a modern discipline that is continuously developing and gradually maturing. It applies chemical principles to explore the nature of environmental issues and utilizes chemical theories and methods to address environmental crises faced by people. During the writing process of this book, while introducing the basic content of environmental chemistry, we have strived to collect some new research materials, aiming to make environmental chemistry research serve sustainable development. To meet the teaching needs of environmental science, environmental engineering, and related disciplines in higher agricultural and forestry institutions, we have compiled this book. The book focuses on the fundamental principles and methods of aquatic environmental chemistry, atmospheric environmental chemistry, and soil environmental chemistry. It introduces the hazards and treatment approaches of some key pollutants and pays attention to absorbing and reflecting current global environmental concerns and related research progress, such as preliminarily exploring the mechanisms and hazards of pollutants like environmental hormones.
