ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY

Environmental chemistry is the study of how chemicals affect the environment and human health as well as how they affect the air, water, and soil. Because the research they undertake helps to influence decisions that have an impact on all of us, environmental chemists are frequently the scientists who interact with the public the most. Environmental scientists evaluate the potential long-term harm that pollutants in soil and groundwater could cause to both the environment and human health. In order to implement corrective measures, label contaminated soils as hazardous waste, manage their disposal, and oversee on-site remediation, they must apply for environmental licences.

Water Treatment Specialist in Water Treatment and Waste Disposal are among the common employment locations

• A specialist in environmental assessment.
• Ecological auditor.
• Chemist.
• Environmental specialist.
• Research Associate in Universities for Government Scientists (Provincial and Federal).

Environmental chemistry is concerned with the chemical processes that affect the chemical speciation and composition of natural systems (air, water, and soils), the chemical fate and mobility of contaminants in the environment, the chemical processes that determine the toxicity and bioavailability of contaminants, and chemical.
