Environmental Chemistry Branch Structure
By Columbia Environmental Research Center
September 6, 2018
The Environmental Chemistry Branch is made up of four research sections working collectively towards the common goal of providing information on the role of chemicals in the environment.

These research sections are:
- Passive and Field Sampling - Development of new sampling technologies to provide a link between chemical occurrence and biological effects
- Chemical Fate and Dynamics - Develops new approaches to advance the fundamental understanding of the fate and effects of contaminants on organisms
- Environmental Forensics - Investigates the presence and distribution of contaminants in biota, sediments, and water in an effort to identify links to sources, toxicity, and metabolism
- Toxic Elements - Assesses the effects of elemental and other inorganic contaminants on aquatic and terrestrial habitats with emphasis on bioaccumulation, mining, and endangered species
