The course is not only taken as the graduates’ major subject of the environmental science and ecology s but also as the elective subject of the relative students of other sciences and specialities. The environmental geochemistry is to a very large extent and this course focus on the generation of environmental and the ecological pollutions. The course is to give a fundamental introduction of the technological and scientific advances about processes and properties of the contaminant’s storage, movement, transformation and degradation. It is also include the influence of the geochemical elements and trace pollutants’ properties to the movement, transport and biogeochemical cycling as well as the global and regional environmental deterioration issues and their biological and ecological effects. When the course is finished the student is supposed to be able to know the properties, distribution, transport, transformation processes and geochemical cycling theory of the earth contaminants; the basic monitor and sample methods for determination of environmental pollutants and the theory of polluted environmental restoration. The students can exemplify how human activities can disturb the cycling of key elements both on local and global scales. The student should also understand the current trends and future directions in environmental geochemistry research.
