Concentration Area: Environmental Management and Technology

This area comprises the development of processes and methods in environmental management and technology based on a holistic conception in the way of studying and proposing solutions to the challenges imposed by the relationship between the environment and the activities of human society within the principles of sustainable development. Thus, in this integrated vision, the area includes studies and applied research that enable scientific and technological development in the areas of clean technology, pollution control systems and natural resources.

Environmental Chemistry and Biomonitoring

Objective of this line: Determine qualitatively and quantitatively the interactions between anthropogenic activities and the environment, in relation to classic chemical pollutants and emerging compounds using analytical chemistry, bioindicators and ecotoxicology tools, to establish cause-effect relationships.

Environmental Technology

Objective of this line: Evaluate and develop technologies and their applications to reduce and transform waste both at the generating source and in "end-of-pipe" processes, prioritizing environmental protection, and obtaining energy and economically valuable compounds.
