Abstract

Environmental chemistry studies the occurrence, movements, and transformations of chemicals in the living environments.  It is an interdisciplinary field that studies the presence and impact of chemicals in soil, water, and living environment. It deals with the impact of  chemicals and their effects on human health and organisms in the environment. It helps us trace and control contaminants.  This paper provides the fundamentals of environmental chemistry and the effects of mankind's activities on the earth's chemical systems
