The Section’s activities include all research areas related to chemical processes that molecules undergo in the environment and their impact on the environment. It includes atmospheric, aquatic and soil chemistry, and the effect of molecules on living organisms.

Objectives

• Disseminate information through the organization and sponsorship of meetings, seminars, workshops and lectures
• Provide a networking platform for environmental scientists to exchange ideas and expert knowledge between academia, industry and regulatory experts 
• Facilitate contact with leading experts in the field
• Represent SCE scientists’ interests in national and international organizations 

Scope

• Networking
• Scientific events to promote the exchange of knowledge in all areas of environmental chemistry
• Events are going to be organized at industrial or academic locations to facilitate interdisciplinary exchange
