Chemical Analysis Center (HAC)
The main research areas of HAC:
• Study of factors and mechanisms that determine the migration and transformation of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. Assessment of in-water processes impacts on distribution and transformation of pollutants, including self-purification processes;
• Study of chemical composition of high-altitude glaciers and atmospheric precipitation for climate change assessments, as well as evaluation of global, regional and local transport and deposition (dry and wet) of pollutants in the Central Asian Region.
• Development of sampling and analysis techniques (representative sample selection; conservation and concentration methods; mathematical data processing).
