environmental chromatography

Environmental chromatography is a scientific technique used to analyze and detect pollutants in the environment, such as in water, soil, or air. It separates complex mixtures of chemicals to identify and measure specific contaminants, like pesticides or industrial chemicals. The process involves passing a sample through a special material that interacts differently with each substance, allowing them to be separated and analyzed individually. This helps scientists monitor environmental quality, assess pollution sources, and ensure safety and compliance with environmental regulations.
