Environmental Chemistry

Every year, pollution in the environment rises, causing serious and irreparable harm to the world. There are many different kinds of pollution, including air, water, soil, noise, and light-weight pollution. The living system is harmed as a result of these. There has been a significant shift in how pollution affects public health, environmental medicine, and the environment. Environmental pollution was neither a medical or public health issue nor was it discussed in clinical settings until recent oil spills in the Yellowstone River, Alaska's tundra, and Enbridge (Wisconsin) demonstrate how pollution can affect man's health directly or indirectly. Environmental medicine has become more widely discussed since the 1950s as a result of increased awareness in public health and preventive medicine; despite the fact that occupational medicine is now the primary focus. However, environmental and occupational medicine are typically thought of as a combined field with an emphasis on industrial issues.
