Environmental Chemistry Lab
Location: Building H, Room Number: H-304
Description about lab: The Environmental Chemistry Lab is one of four research laboratories managed by PAER, established with support from the SATREP-Tonle Sap project in 2018 and funded by JICA/JST. The lab plays a crucial role in assessing environmental pollutants and supporting research to advance the understanding of environmental processes, as well as the impacts of chemicals on ecosystems and human health.
