Who we are - What we do

The GDCh Division of Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology was founded in November 1990, has around 850 members and deals with the interactions between chemicals and the environment (environmental chemistry). On the one hand, it is about describing and understanding the entry routes, distribution and transformation of substances in the soil, water and air compartments, and on the other hand, it is about characterizing their effect on organisms and habitats (ecotoxicology). The subject area is extremely interdisciplinary and offers research and employment opportunities for people with knowledge in the fields of chemistry, biology, geosciences, law, engineering and other related disciplines. Intensive, subject-related work is carried out in the Division 's four working groups.

Interested parties from research, regulation and industry can contribute to the work of the Division and its working groups in various ways and benefit from existing expertise:

  • professional work in the working groups
  • scientific exchange and making new contacts at the annual meetings
  • Further training of young scientists, including through regular hosting of the Young Environmental Forum (JUF)
  • Discover potential job opportunities at the annual Perspectives Day directly on site with changing employers

Current topics and research contributions are published in the Division 's communications. At the European level, the Division supports the activities of the Division of Chemistry and the Environment of the European Chemical Society (EuChemS).
