Environmental Science
Environment and sustainability are important research fields at Stockholm University. The research covers, for example, environmental toxins, climate change and landscape processes and how to build a society in a sustainable way.

Contaminant Risk Assessment and Management
To further improve chemical safety, we investigate how exposure and effect data are used for agency decision-making and we develop novel approaches to facilitate the use of scientific data in regulatory risk assessment and risk management.
Contaminant Risk Assessment and Management
Environmental and Human Exposure for Contaminants
We study how chemicals enter the environment, how they are transported, where they accumulate, how they are removed from the environment, and quantify the different pathways of contaminant exposure to wildlife and humans.
Environmental and Human Exposure for Contaminants
Nexus of Air Pollution and Climate Change
The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP; northern Pakistan, N. India and Bangladesh) as well as the eastern corridor of China are two examples of hotspot regions with massive anthropogenic effects on public health and climate with a myriad of cascading effects on other environmental systems.
Nexus of Air Pollution and Climate Change
Permafrost-biogeochemistry-climate Interactions
The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the global average and already now shows rapid thaw of land and subsea permafrost, vegetation shifts, increased coastal erosion, sea ice decline and changes in ocean currents.
