The purpose of this website is to offer a comprehensive study on the basic cycles of common elements
and compounds. A thorough evaluation of the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and water cycles will eventually lead to
an analytical contrast between them and then, using my chemical knowledge, to create an idealistic pollution resistant
biosphere.
What is Environmental Chemistry?
Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the environment on the very basic level involving elements
and compounds. It includes studies on chemical reactions and their effects, either good or bad, that affect the Earth as a
whole. Our environment consists of the earth's atmosphere, water and crust. Chemical cycles occur naturally in the environment
to keep the elements in balance and to give its energy to those who need it, however with more and more demand for less
costly and improved materials containing pollutants, our precious chemical reactions are being thrown off balance.
