Welcome To Environment and Analytical Chemistry Research Laboratory

Overview:

Environmental and Analytical Chemistry Research Laboratory (EACRL) was launched in the Centre for Advanced Research in Sciences (CARS) in 2004. This laboratory is well equipped for various environmental and analytical research. The main goal of EACRL is advancing scientific knowledge in the field of environmental science, heavy metal pollution, climate change and basic analytical chemistry and biochemistry through scientific research, training and practical courses for young scientific personnel and postgraduate students. It also strives to contribute to knowledge on conservation and management of the environment and the territory, in addition to adaptation to environmental change at local and regional scales, functioning as a bridge between academia, governmental administrations, and society, for promoting awareness within its scope of activities. A five membered Research Coordination Committees (RCCs) is working in developing and strengthening the capacity of research laboratories with advanced facilities in the CARS. The EACRL and its supporting scientists participate in offering training, consultation, or research activities and service. This laboratory is established and managed in the CARS as a referral laboratory for research following national and international ethical guidelines. The management is required to provide the most appropriate organizational structure, technical supports and motivation of its implementation in quality research.
