Environmental chemistry research involves the study of chemical composition, reactions, and effects of substances in the environment, regardless of their origins being natural or anthropogenic origins.

Chemical processes and reactions occur in natural and built environments, including air, water, soil, and living organisms. Environmental chemistry research involves the study of chemical composition, reactions, and effects of substances in the environment, regardless of their origins being natural or anthropogenic origins. The aim is to understand the impact of pollutants, to identify emerging contaminants, and to develop sustainable solutions for environmental issues.
