Water Chemistry and Pollution: This subfield focuses on studying the chemical composition of natural waters, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, as well as pollutants and contaminants that affect water quality. Environmental chemists work to develop methods for water treatment and pollution control.
  3. Soil Chemistry and Contamination: Environmental chemists study soil properties, nutrient cycles, and the impact of contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial waste on soil health. They work on soil remediation and sustainable agricultural practices.
  4. Green Chemistry: Green chemistry aims to develop environmentally friendly chemical processes and products that minimize waste, reduce toxicity, and lower energy consumption. It focuses on designing chemicals and materials with reduced environmental impact.
  5. Environmental Analytical Chemistry: Environmental chemists develop and apply analytical techniques and instruments to detect and quantify environmental pollutants. This subtopic is crucial for monitoring and assessing environmental quality and compliance with regulations.
