Chemistry Camp (Beirut Campus): Soil Health

The chemistry summer camp will tackle UN SDG2 (Zero Hunger), SDG13 (Climate Action) and SDG15 (Life on Land). A lack of effective soil health monitoring, gaps in available soil data, absence of soil guidelines and inadequate methods for measuring soil quality combined with uncontrolled industrial/agricultural wastewater and solid waste discharges in multiple regions of Mediterranean countries are leading to the progressive deterioration of soil quality through elevated organic, inorganic and complex contaminant environmental loading. Participants will get introduced to theoretical and applied chemical principles of soil chemistry, discover diverse experimental procedures and apply analytical instruments to measure water and soil parameters.
