IAEAC (International Association of Environmental Analytical Chemistry) - Thinking Outside of the Box: What is the Role of Analytical Chemists in Combatting Climate Change?
Wednesday, March 10, 2021: 1:30 PM - 4:40 PM
Speaker(s)
Description
The symposium will bring together climate scientists to provide in-depth understanding of climate change and its effects that we’ll encounter in the decades to come. They will indicate fields of study, applications and open questions in which analytical chemistry can help analyze, understand and mitigate those effects.

The biosphere has experienced unprecedented and large-scale anthropogenic changes over the last century. Societal and environmental changes in economic development, land use, climate change, international travel and trade, commerce and health-care systems are all factors that can impact the (re-) emergence and dispersion of infectious diseases. An analysis of the...

Plant chemistry is based on different environmental inputs, carbon as carbon dioxide is derived from the atmosphere; macro and micro elements (N, P, K, Fe, etc.) from the soil. The rapid and projected increase in atmospheric CO2 (~30% since the mid 1950s; 50% increase by end of century) is resulting...

The Oceans play a critical role in providing healthy food and recreation, generating biological and ecosystem services that support our health and well-being, and providing economic as well as aesthetic value. The oceans also play a critical, but less well understood role, in moderating our climate and predicting our weather—even...

Climate change is altering exposures to extreme weather and climate events; affecting atmospheric chemistry, water pollution, and ecosystems; and disrupting social and economic systems. Our health is sensitive to these shifts, with consequences for morbidity and mortality from heatwaves, floods, and droughts; infectious diseases; and cardio-respiratory diseases. Extreme heat also...
