STRADA Unit
Environmental Chemistry & Pollution Analysis Team
Advancing field-ready environmental chemistry to identify contaminants, trace pollution pathways, and support evidence-based humanitarian and ecological response.
Mission
Pollution intelligence for action
The Environmental Chemistry & Pollution Analysis Team investigates chemical contamination across water, soil, air, and built environments to inform rapid intervention, remediation planning, and long-term environmental stewardship.
Its work supports Pacific 7.0 International’s science-informed operations by translating laboratory findings into operational guidance for crisis zones, exposed communities, and partner institutions.
Capabilities
Core analytical functions
Contaminant Detection
Identify hazardous compounds, industrial residues, and toxic exposure markers affecting communities and ecosystems.
Field Sample Analysis
Support chain-of-custody sampling, laboratory interpretation, and rapid reporting for operational decision-making.
Pollution Pathway Mapping
Trace how contaminants move through water systems, soils, food chains, and infrastructure under crisis conditions.
Focus Areas
Operational research priorities
The team integrates environmental chemistry with humanitarian field intelligence to strengthen prevention, attribution, and recovery planning in pollution-affected settings.
Water quality surveillance
Industrial spill assessment
Toxic exposure interpretation
