The Environmental 91AV Group (ECG) is one of the RSC’s many Interest Groups. Interest Groups are member-led groups, which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, and to meet the requirements of the RSC’s strategy and charter.
Scope
The Environmental 91AV Group (ECG) considers all aspects of the complex relationships between chemistry and the environment. The ECG aims to understand the behaviour of chemical species in the water, soil and atmospheric environments; exploring their sources, reactions, transport and in particular their effects on each of these environments. Chemicals may be of natural, anthropogenic, biogenic or geochemical origin.
Aims
- To promote the interests and expertise of members.
- To facilitate scientific discussion relating to environmental chemistry.
- To provide expert advice both within the RSC and externally.
Activities
- Publication of the biannual ECG Bulletin, which is available online
- The Distinguished Guest Lecture (DGL) & Symposium, at which several invited speakers address a specific topic for a general audience, in support of the DGL award to an eminent figure in the field
- The group also organises meetings and events of more specialist interest. Please
