 Environment is all surroundings of a living
organism, including natural forces and other
A. ISSUE living things, which provide conditions for
BACKGROUND development and growth as well as of
danger and damage. It matters because Earth
is the only home that humans have, and it
provides air, food, and other natural
resources to fulfill needs.
 B. LIMITATION OF
PROBLEMS

•Aqueous Chemistry
•Surface/Groundwater Quality and Monitoring
•Water Treatment and Related Technologies
•Air/Athmosphere Chemistry

•Soil Chemistry

•Environmental Toxicology and Hazardous Waste

A. Aqueous Chemistry

An aqueous solution is any solution in

which water (H2O) is the solvent. In a
chemical equation, the symbol (aq)
follows a species name to indicate it in
aqueous solution. For example: NaCl(s)
→ Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
B. Surface/Groundwater Quality and Monitoring

Groundwater is water beneath the surface of

the Earth. It starts as precipitation and the
portion of the rain water that infiltrates
beneath the ground’s surface, either
naturally or artificially, becomes
groundwater.
C. Water Treatment and Related Technologies

Water treatment is any process that

improves the quality of water, by removing
contaminants and undesirable components
or reduces their concentration so that the
water becomes fit for its desired end-used.
Types of Water
Treatment:
 Treatment for drinking water production
involves the removal of contaminants from

01. raw water to produce water that

is pure enough for human consumption
without any short term or long term risk of
any adverse health effect.
02.
Two of the main processes of industrial
water treatment are boiler water
treatment and cooling water treatment.
03. Saline water can be treated to yield fresh
water.
04.
Field Processes. Living away from drinking
water supplies often requires some form of
portable water treatment process.
05.
Some industries such as the production
of silicon wafers, space technology and
many high quality metallurgical process
require ultrapure water.
C. The Athmosphere and Associated Processes

The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases,

commonly known as air, that surrounds the
planet earth and is retained by earth’s gravity. The
atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by
creating pressure allowing for liquid water to exist on
the Earth's surface, absorbing ultraviolet solar
radiation, warming the surface through heat retention
(greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature
extremes between day and night ( the diurnal
temperature variation).
The chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere
has emerged as a central theme in
studies of global change. Atmospheric
chemistry provides the scientific
foundations to understand a number of
phenomena that are part of global
change. These phenomena include:
• Changes in UV dosage at the Earth's
surface owing to the intrinsically
chemical nature of the catalytic loss
of stratospheric ozone,
•Changes in the dynamics and
radiative structure of the climate
system through altered thermal
forcing by ozone in the upper
troposphere
•Changes in the concentration of
highly oxidizing species in urban as
well as remote rural regions,
•Changes in the acid levels of
depositions in a variety of
ecosystems.
E. Soil Chemistry

Soil chemistry is the branch of soil science that deals

with the chemical properties, constituents and
reactions within soils.
Soil contains:
• Water
• Inorganic colloids
• Macronutrients
• Micronutrients
• Organic matter
• Minerals
 • A good supply of nutrients
The
• Nutrient-holding capacity
indicators of • Good water-holding capacity
a good soil is • Good resistance to water loss
• pH near neutral
when it has:
• Low salt content
F. Environmental
Toxicology and
Hazardous Waste
1. Environmental Toxicology

Environmental toxicology is a field of environmental

science that studies how exposure toxic chemicals can
directly change the health of individuals or indirectly
affect us by disrupting or defiling the content of lakes,
oceans, forests, and the atmosphere.
 How does
environmental toxins
affect human health?
• Human’s respiration by inhaling
pollutants such as car fumes,
cigarette smoke etc.
• Drinking the water that has been
thoroughly treated with chemicals
• Eating the food that is grown in
toxic soil, pumped with hormones
and packaged with preservatives.
2. Hazardous Waste

Hazardous waste is a waste that is dangerous or

potentially harmful to all living things health or the
environment. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids,
gases, or mud. They can be discarded commercial
products, such as cleaning fluids or pesticides, or by
the products of manufacturing processes.
 Through learning environmental chemistry, we can enrich our knowledge
how to protect the environment. There are three main elements that has
significant existence, which are water, air, and soil. Water is very important
since 90% of human body consist of water. For air existence, human body
uses it in several ways. Without it we wouldn't be able to live. For example,
breathing in Oxygen - Air supplies the oxygen to our lungs which circulates
through our bodies to combine with sugars in the food we eat to give us
energy and to build tissues. And for soil, it is just as important as water and
soil because it influences the distribution of plant species and provides a
habitat for a wide range of organisms
