Abstract
One of the most important properties of water is its ability to dissolve chemical substances and transport them between different points in the environment. Even rain water is never pure or free from some dissolved chemical substances. These dissolved chemical substances in the aquatic environment can sometimes be beneficial and sometimes very detrimental to man. This chapter discusses the level of concentration of those dissolved chemical components in the aquatic environment which can create problems for man.
