This work will become an indispensable source of knowledge for students, graduate students, teachers, as well as anyone interested in ecology, geochemistry and sustainable development. In his book, Pospelov examines how chemical processes affect ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of understanding geochemical cycles to assess the state of the environment. The author analyzes the impact of anthropogenic activities on natural processes, covering such topical topics as soil, water and atmospheric pollution, as well as methods for monitoring and assessing environmental risks. The reader will be able to learn about how different chemicals interact with natural components and how these interactions can affect human and animal health. The book will be of particular interest to those studying environmental sciences, agronomy, biology and related disciplines. It is suitable for both students and professionals working in the field of environmental protection, ecology, agriculture and environmental management. Pospelov uses accessible language and understandable examples, which makes the material easy to understand even for those who are just beginning to get acquainted with geochemistry. The topics raised in the book are not only relevant, but also extremely important for modern society. In the face of global climate change and growing environmental problems such as pollution and depletion of natural resources, an understanding of geochemical processes becomes necessary to develop effective strategies for environmental protection. Pospelov emphasizes that only a comprehensive approach to the study of chemical interactions in nature can help in solving these problems. The author's style is distinguished by scientific rigor and at the same time the availability of presentation. About. A.
