Ch.1. Introduction Environmental Geochemistry? The application of chemical principles to predicte the fate of organic and inorganic pollutants at the earth's surface and in the atmosphere (R.Stoessel) Applying geochemical knowledge to solve environmental problems
Ch.1. Some Concepts for EG Earth is a closed but dynamic system It stays in the system but cycles through the system (e.g. rock cycle, water cycle, sulfur cycle, etc.) Earth is practically the only home for human beings within our reach in the Universe Need to balance development with conservation Sustainability!!

Environmental Science is a comprehensive study field
