ECO-CHEMISTRY
Eco-chemistry is a new, fast developing field of science that focuses on the behavior of chemicals (natural or man-made) in air, water, soils and sediments. It is an interdisciplinary field that studies chemical processes and their impacts on the composition and chemical makeup of air, water and soils. Positioned at the cross roads of important scientific subjects, eco-chemistry is centered around advanced analytical chemistry, regarding as well the basic principles of organic chemistry, soil science, biochemistry, toxicology and ecology. Environmental chemistry aimed at deciphering fundamental mechanisms ruling the behavior of chemicals (including pollutants) in ecosystems.
Besides the broad playground of eco-chemistry, it covers the following main study areas:
Offers basic knowledge and practical skills of professional analytical chemistry and its application to a variety of environmental systems and industrial processes |
|
Introduces to the principles of medicinal chemistry including natural products’ isolation, processes performance and optimization |
|
Provides knowledge about the chemistry of the biosphere, terrestrial and aquatic habitats the chemical concepts the processes taking part in them |
|
Presents a comprehensive view of the chemical basis of ecological interactions during nutrient cycling, covering the main chemical transformations |
|
Explains the environmental problems through the tools of chemical science and reveals natural and anthropogenic sources of pollution that rises ecological issues and impact Earth and human health |
|
Presents the modern trends in the green synthesis procedures of chemical compounds and materials and their contribution to the sustainability of chemical processes |
|
Describes environmental chemistry applications that are focused on identification of the nature and source of pollutants - from monitoring reactions to full structure elucidation |
|
Offers information about the monitoring, fate and risk assessment of contaminants in environmental and biological systems |
Eco-chemistry explores the mechanisms through which the environment operates in norma, which chemicals in what concentrations are present in nature, and what effects they impose on it. On the basis of this understanding eco-chemistry offers a solid background on which the effects humans have on the environment through the release of chemicals can be evaluated and monitored. The mail role of eco-chemistry is to reveal the chemical mechanisms that are in the basis of the complex natural relationships.
