Environmental tracing

Environmental tracing is a scientific technique used to track the movement, sources, and fate of pollutants or substances within ecosystems. By analyzing specific chemical or biological markers, researchers can determine where pollutants originate, how they travel through air, water, or soil, and how long they persist. This process helps identify pollution sources, assess environmental impacts, and inform strategies for pollution control and environmental protection. Essentially, environmental tracing acts like a detective tool, providing detailed insights into the pathways and behavior of substances in the environment.
