Environmental Chemistry is the study of the chemistry of the natural environment and human impact on that environment. It may include chemical processes that occur in water, air, terrestrial, and living environments.

This knowledge can be applied to determining how pollutants move through the environment, how to remediate polluted areas, and working on major environmental issues such as climate change and ocean acidification.

This POE has the flexibility for students to focus on their areas of interest. Areas of focus could include biochemistry and toxicology, aqueous chemistry, or environmental geochemistry.

Study at the Raystown Field Station

Raystown Field Station Aquatic Ecology Semester

Students interested in aqueous systems have the opportunity to live and take their classes at the Raystown Field Station, located on Raystown Lake. Classes include both theory and hands-on experience on the lake and in streams. Click here for more information.
