The role
What an environmental chemist actually does, day to day.
As an Environmental Chemist, you find out if our air, water, and soil are healthy. You collect samples from rivers, factories, farms, or streets, bring them to a lab, and use machines to test them. You look for harmful chemicals or metals and measure how much of them is there. Then you write a report explaining what you found and what should happen next.
You work with other scientists - biologists and engineers - to solve pollution problems. Some days you are outdoors sampling, other days you are in the lab running tests or sitting at a desk analyzing the numbers. You help keep people and nature safe by spotting pollution early and showing what needs to change.
