Abstract

Sustainable management of natural sources from environmental pollution and its intensive resilience is a great challenge that is continuously accelerating into a burning issue. Indiscriminative usage of different synthetic chemicals and other chemical compounds for the comfort in the human lives is consequently imposing a huge silent impact on the natural sources. Therefore, it is essential to detect the pollutant elements as well as their quantities in natural sources. We are fortunate enough to have a number of instrumental techniques to detect them, but the most reliable one is the spectroscopic technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical pollutants in the natural sources of the environment. In this book chapter, we will discuss the different spectroscopic methods, such as ultraviolet-visible absorption, atomic absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, that are being useful for the identification of various kinds of pollutants and their amount in different natural sources.
