Water became
a very coveted treasure.
Any green zones crossed by
rivers are guarded by armed
soldiers.
Was I guilty ?
My generation destroyed the
environment.
We did not heed the warning signs.
Soon, I think,
life on earth will not be possible,
as the destruction of nature has reached an irreversible stage.
Sustainable Development
How does environment respond to
development?
Sustainable Development
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs (WHO).
Design of human and industrial systems (Engineering) to ensure
that humankinds use of natural resources do not lead to
diminished quality of life due either to losses in future economic
opportunities or to adverse impacts on social conditions, human
health, and the environment.
Natural resources of the earth including air, water, land, flora
and fauna must be safeguarded for the benefit of present and
future generations through careful planning and management.
Water/ air self purification.

public/ companies/ environmental engineers in the 21st century.

Environmental Systems
(Measurement of Quantity and Concentration)
Extensive Properties:
Magnitude depends on the size of the system or on sample taken
from the system (e.g. mass, volume, heat capacity and calories).
Quantity is an extensive property
Intensive property:
Magnitude does not depend on the size of a system or on sample
taken from it (e.g. temperature, density, specific heat etc.)
Concentration is an intensive property
Expression of concentration:
mass fraction (0-1; % (per cent); (per mil); ppm; ppb) ,
volume fraction, mole fraction, mass per unit volume, moles per unit
volume (molar), moles per unit mass (molal), equivalents (normal)
Partial Pressure: Species amount in air may be expressed as partial
pressure
Px = -log [x]; [x] is molar concentration; pH, pOH, pCa++

Environmental Measurements
Environmental measurement
1. Ten gram of table salt (NaCl) is dissolved in pure water to make 1 L of
solution. Determine the mass fraction (%, ppm), mass concentration,
molarity, molality, normality, mole fraction of Na+ in solution. (Na = 23;
Cl = 35.5)
Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5
10 g NaCl = 10/58.5 = 0.17 mole = 0.17 x 23 = 3.9 g of Na+.
Mass fraction = 3.9/1000 = 0.39 % = 3900 ppm
Mass concentration = 3.9 g/L = 3900 mg/L ( in aq. Systems, mg/L = ppm)
Molarity =0.17 mole/L or 0.17 M; Normality = 0.17 eq/L = 0.17 N
Molality = 0.17 mole/ 0.99 kg = 0.172
Mole fraction = 0.17/ (0.17 + 0.17 + (990/18) = 3.0719 x 10-3
2. Mole fraction of aqueous glucose solution is 0.025. What is the molar &
mass concentration of glucose? (Assumption: density of the solution = 1)
Moles of glucose = 0.025 = 0.25 x 180 = 4.5 g
& moles of water = 0.975 = 0.75 x 18 = 17.55 g
molar concentration = (.025/ 17.55) x 1000 = 1.42 M
mass concentration = (4.5 g/17.55) x 1000 = 256.4 g/L

Prob. 2.06 g of sodium nitrate, NaNO3 is added to a cylinder containing water. The cylinder
Diameter is 5 cm and the depth of the water in the cylinder is 10 cm. Determine the
concentration of salt in solution, showing your answer in the different units.
Solution
Molecular weight of NaNO3 = atomic wts. (Sodium + nitrogen + oxygen)
= 23 g/mole + 14 g/mole + 3 (16) g/mole = 85 g/mole
Calculate the volume of water stored in the cylinder
V = D2h/4 = 206 cm3 = 0.206 L
Conc. of NaNO3 (mg/L) = (2.06 g/0.206 L) (1000 mg/g) = 10000 mg/L
Mass % = 1%
Molarity [NaNO3] = moles NaNO3/L = (10 g/L)/(85 g/mole) = 0.118 mole/L or M
Environmental Studies
To logically understand is Science &
to channelize nature to improve standard of living is Engineering
The motto is'Replenish the earth and subdue it'.
Is there a barren desertirrigate it;
is there a mountain barrierpierce it;
is there a rushing torrentharness it.
Bridge the rivers; sail the seas; and many more---Rossiter W. Raymond 1913
Human (Our) actions have widespread impacts on our world and the
other organisms with which we share it.
Science & technology: explain how things work & reveal how we can
make our environment safer, more comfortable and more enduring.
Environmental Processes
(Natural & Engineered Processes)
Environmental processes of interest are of two categories:
1. Transformation Processes
The speed or rate at which energy is exercised to effect change. Most of the
environmental reactions follow first order kinetics
2. Transport Processes
