An environmental chemistry characterizes the contamination of aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric ecosystems. The research is carried out to provide information to resource managers about the source of contamination, exposure, trophic transfer and environmental fate. Custom analytical methods are developed to decipher complex mixtures of emerging pollutants, endocrine disruptors, toxic elements and persistent organic pollutants (including dioxins). CERC has state-of-the-art analytical facilities including gas and liquid chromatography (LC), low and high resolution mass spectrometry (MS), ICP-MS, direct mercury analyzer, atomic absorption and LC / MS. Passive sampling methods such as SPMD, POCIS, SLMD and PIMS were invented in the CERC and are now used worldwide to assess exposure to contaminants. Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It should not be confused with green chemistry, which seeks to reduce potential contamination at its source. It can be defined as the study of sources, reactions, transport, effects and fate of chemical species in air, soil and water environments; And the effect of human activity and biological activity on these. Environmental chemistry is an interdisciplinary science that includes atmospheric, aquatic and soil chemistry, as well as rely heavily on analytical chemistry and be related to the environment and other areas of science.
Environmental chemistry is the study of the chemical processes that occur in the environment and that are impacted by the activities of humanity. These impacts can be felt locally, through the presence of urban air pollutants or toxic substances from a chemical waste site or on a global scale, through stratospheric ozone depletion or global warming. The focus on our courses and research activities is based on the development of a fundamental understanding of the nature of these chemical processes, so that the activities of mankind can be accurately evaluated.
