Spectroscopy and Its Advancements for Environmental Sustainability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants

Abstract

Several chemical compounds and contaminants accumulate in our environment and cause pollution. Identification, detection, and disposal of these pollutants require modification of the existing and/or synthesis of the novel chemical compounds through a green approach. The morphological structure of chemicals can be analyzed through myriads spectroscopy techniques. Spectroscopy has proved itself as an important method for qualitative analysis and quantitative detection of pollutants. The role of spectroscopic techniques popularly involves the use of electromagnetic radiation to identify different chemicals and pollutants structures based on the principle of absorption and radiation. Spectroscopic techniques involving UV-Visible, Infra-Red (IR), X-ray, Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) are the most popular techniques to identify hazardous chemicals and their derivatives for making the environment clean and safe. In this chapter, we have discussed the important spectroscopy techniques and approaches that are being explored for environmental sustainability.
