Research Group Environmental Analytics
The ‘Environmental Analytics’ Research Group supports and serves Agroscope researchers in chemical-analytical matters. In addition, it contributes with methodology development and its own research projects to an improved understanding of the fate and behaviour of substances in the anthroposphere, the agricultural sector and the environment. Its target analytes range from heavy metals to microplastics by way of organic micropollutants.

Environmental Analytics
One of the main sources of micropollutants in the aqueous environment are diffuse emissions from agriculture through e.g. surface runoff or drainage. The Environmental Analytics Working Group investigates properties, emission pathways and degradation mechanisms of these agricultural micropollutants in different environmental matrices.
