Environmental chemistry is the scientific study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in natural places. It can be defined as the study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in the air, soil, and water environments; and the effect of human activity on these.
Research in environmental chemistry is done in departments of engineering and geophysical sciences as much or more than it is done in chemistry departments. One important goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers from different academic areas who might not often interact. In addition, environmental chemistry research is done in government and private organizations as well as in academia, and a second goal of this symposium to bring together academics and non-academics.
The NERM2008 environmental chemistry symposium will include a special session on local environmental chemistry - discussion on the contribution of chemistry to efforts to monitor and treat environmental issues in Vermont and neighboring states.
Your contributions are invited in the following areas:
- atmospheric chemistry and physics
- climate change
- fate and transport
- biogeochemistry
- aquatic chemistry
- remediation
General information about NERM2008 abstract submission can be found here.
Submit an abstract for this symposium using the ACS OASYS on-line abstract submission system
All abstracts accepted for NERM 2008 will be automatically included into CAS, the ACS Chemical Abstracts Service database after the meeting.
