Advanced Environmental Chemistry Applications

With great vision and passion we initiated the book Advanced Environmental Chemistry applications. Environmental science is multidisciplinary area for great research and Environmental chemistry was an emerging field, aiming at a inclusive explanation of the Earth’s environment, encircling the bio –geo, physical, chemical, and transformations of chemical substances occurring on a local as well as a global. Environmental chemistry became the promising area to combat the global warming b and climate change through green approaches.

Contributions are written by leading scientists, academicians and experts with practical experiments in their fields. The book Advanced Environmental Chemistry applications grows with the increase in our scientific understanding, leads into great interest and provides a sound full of knowledge, a great source not only researchers, academicians, students, but also for environmental managers and policy makers.

This book covers a wide range of environmental chemistry topics like Global warming, Climate Change, Water resources management, Bioremediation, Green Synthesis and green technologies.

Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the green synthesis, as it is a simple, single-step bio reduction method that requires relatively low energy to initiate the reaction. Different methods used for the synthesis of Nanoparticles discussed and a comparison of bio-mediated synthesised NPs with other chemically synthesised. Green synthesis of NPs found to be simple, single step and low energy initiator and Biologically synthesised NPs are non toxic, eco-friendly and environmentally acceptable.

Chapter 2 discusses about the Global warming, atmospheric implications, atmospheric lifetime, Global Warming Potential, Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Substitutes and their potential impact on Climate Change.

Chapter 3 covers the natural healing of Environmental pollutants in the Environment through Bio-remediation, and also discusses the role play of white Rot fungi Enzymes , Remediation of polluted water ,removal of pollutants ,filtration of Farm Runoff water, Toxic wildfire ash removal, remediating polluted soil ,diesel contaminated land with fungi.

Chapter 4 deals a novel green solvent –Based Gel Type Adsorbent materials for waste water treatment and describes Multifunctional self healing Eutecto gels induced by supra molecular assembly for smart conductive materials, interfacelubrication and dye adsorption, Environmentally friendly eutectogels for waste water treatment were discussed.

Chapter 5 deals with water pollution: unravelling the genesis, consequences and resolutions, effects of water pollutions, water pollution control measures.

Chapter 6 deals with Water resources Management, recent trends in Resources Development and management, sustainable development and discusses Soil resources through its distribution, soil degradation and conservation, water resources ,ground water quality, management of water resources, protection of water from pollution .

The book advanced Environmental Chemistry applications provides a solid basis from which scientists and academicians can share their knowledge on the different aspects of environmental problems, presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and
approaches. The book will also be useful to those appearing in various competitive examinations, entrance examinations and also to researchers, educationists. The Editors thank contributors and kripa drishti (P) Ltd publishers and their team for bringing out this informative book.
