Analytical Chemistry Techniques for Environmental Monitoring

Abstract

Environmental monitoring relies heavily on analytical chemistry techniques to detect and quantify pollutants. This paper examines modern analytical methods used to assess environmental contamination in air, water, and soil. Accurate chemical analysis is essential for protecting ecosystems and public health.
The paper discusses chromatography, spectroscopy, and sensor-based technologies as tools for environmental assessment. Advances in sensitivity and selectivity have improved the detection of trace-level contaminants. Data interpretation and quality assurance are critical components of reliable monitoring programs.
The paper concludes that analytical chemistry provides the foundation for evidence-based environmental management and regulatory decision-making.
