"Textbook of Environmental Chemistry has been designed to provide fundamental knowledge of the principles related to environment and its chemistry, so as to meet the challenging requirements of students as well as teachers of environmental sciences, environmental chemistry, and environmental studies at graduate, postgraduate, polytechnic, and engineering levels in all Indian Universities. This book is also useful for the students and professors of general science.

The book explores biological resources and their relationship with physical and chemical aspects of the environment. Due emphasis has been given to the regional as well as global environmental problems like water, air, soil, and noise pollution, their types and sources, and effects on the ecosystem."
