Abstract

Environmental geochemistry is instrumental in elucidating the origins, pathways, and impacts of pollutants in ecosystems. This paper provides an overview of methodologies and strategies employed in environmental geochemistry to trace pollution sources and implement effective remediation measures. Key analytical techniques such as isotopic analysis, geochemical fingerprinting, and spatial mapping are discussed, highlighting their applications in identifying pollutant origins and pathways. Furthermore, the paper explores innovative remediation strategies including phytoremediation, bioremediation, and engineered solutions, emphasizing their efficacy in mitigating environmental pollution. Case studies illustrate successful applications of these techniques in diverse environmental contexts, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing contemporary environmental challenges.
