Page:  1  2 Who we are … The Wania Group is an environmental chemistry research group in the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough. The group is headed by Frank Wania, a Professor with cross-appointments in the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto. What are our research interests? Our research is concerned with understanding and quantifying the fate and behaviour of organic chemicals in the environment using a combination of field studies, laboratory experiments and computer simulations. A particular focus is on persistent organic pollutants and the understanding of environmental phase partitioning. We have published work on the global fate of persistent contaminants, the air-surface exchange of semi-volatile organic chemicals, and the measurement of physical-chemical properties of environmental significance.
