      Preface

      Geochemistry is a branch of earth science. Since it is a field of study that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms in geologic environments, it often focuses on determining processes that control the abundance and composition of minerals and their distribution in the earth’s crust. Geochemistry also plays a vital role in environmental soil and water systems in identifying and modulating environmental problems, and in studying the composition, structure and processes of the earth. Therefore, this book helps in understanding the chemical composition of the earth and its applications. Since it explores the basic principles, concepts and applications of geochemistry and discusses its beneficial effects, bottlenecks, solutions, and future directions, it will be a very helpful reference source for undergraduate and postgraduate students, geochemists, environmentalists, chemists, researchers, engineers, R&D professionals, and faculties who are working in the fields of earth science, environmental chemistry and industrial technologies among others. In addition to case studies, topics such as chemical weathering, impacts on living beings and water, geochemical cycles, oxidation and redox reactions in geochemistry, isotopes, analytical techniques, medicinal, inorganic, marine, atmospheric, and environmental applications are presented. The information contained in the chapters summarized below was written by experts in the field from around the world, making it a unique archival reference guide.
