FUNDAMENTAL OF CHEMISTRY FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND
SCINECE
WATER is one of:
Material to sustain life
Source of much human illness
Solved by
Chemists Help to removal of color, turbidity,
hardness, harmful metal ions & organic
compunds, and control of corrosion & scaling,
etc.
Biologist Help in taste and odor problems
that derive from aquatic growths, etc.
 Engineers
Has responsible to synthesize from basic
knowledge into practical systems of waste
water treatment that are effective and
economical.
Limits of effort control, has 4
categories:
Used for the transportation of wastes
with our regard to aquatic growths but
maintained to avoid the development of
nuisance conditions
Pollutional load will be restricted to
allow fish to flourish
Used for recreational purposes
Water supplies
Industrial & Hazardous wastes
Hazardous wastes are particular complex. To
management of contamination need scientist and
engineers.

Analytical chemistry: Sampling, separation amd

quantification of the myriad of chemical present in
industrial waste, leachates and contaminated surface
waters and aquifers.

Itsolved by minimizing the quantitites of the material

produced and used product substitution, waste
recovery and recycling and waste minimization.
 More cost effective to prevent
pollution rather than clean it up
Air pollution
Greenhouse gasses, such as:
CO2 , methane, nitrogen, ozone absorb
termal, water vapor, chlorofluorocarbons,
etc
Environmental chemistry will contribute
to understand this problem
