The Environmental Chemistry Research Group at DISAT conducts research in the fields of environmental chemistry and sustainable chemistry. Their consultancy services include developing and applying methodologies for analyzing emerging contaminants in various environmental compartments and evaluating technologies and processes to prevent or mitigate their spread, as well as remediation technologies. The group is particularly active in studying the degradation and release processes of polymeric materials (plastics, textile fibers, bio-solids) and developing indicators for assessing the sustainability of new materials and processes. Molecular indicators are also applied and used to evaluate environmental rehabilitation interventions in the region.
