Hey friend,
here is ur answer,
Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It should not be confused with green chemistry, which seeks to reduce potential pollution at its source. It can be defined as the study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the air, soil, and water environments; and the effect of human activity and biological activity on these. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary science that includes atmospheric, aquatic and soil chemistry, as well as heavily relying on analytical chemistry and being related to environmental and other areas of science.
Environmental chemistry is the study of chemical processes occurring in the environment which are impacted by humankind's activities. These impacts may be felt on a local scale, through the presence of urban air pollutants or toxic substances arising from a chemical waste site, or on a global scale, through depletion of stratospheric ozone or global warming. The focus in our courses and research activities is upon developing a fundamental understanding of the nature of these chemical processes, so that humankind's activities can be accurately evaluated.
Environmental chemistry involves first understanding how the uncontaminated environment works, which chemicals in what concentrations are present naturally, and with what effects. Without this it would be impossible to accurately study the effects humans have on the environment through the release of chemicals.
Environmental chemists draw on a range of concepts from chemistry and various environmental sciences to assist in their study of what is happening to a chemical species in the environment. Important general concepts from chemistry include understanding chemical reactions and equations, solutions, units, sampling, and analytical techniques.

Earth is composed of numerous minute substances and particles which are involved in reactions leading to the formation of new ones. Hence the earth is said to be a closed system and the energy comes and leaves the planet, of which most of the mass stays here. This means that all the elements on this planet are continuously recycling within the environment. For example, consider free molecules of oxygen which were floating in the atmosphere yesterday and it might be the part of someone’s hamburger the next day. It’s all up to the chemists to study these cycles and to watch their movements. Hence the Environmental Chemistry can be defined as:
“The field of chemistry that deals with the study of reactions, sources, transport, effects, along with the fates of all the chemical species present in the soil, water, and the air environments, and also the effects of technology thereon.”
