Currently the departments of Ecological Chemistry are establicshed in many higher education institutions, as well as in the specialized research institute in the field, such as Institute of Fine Chemical Technologies “M. V. Lomonosov ”, etc. Thus, within the less of half a century, the Ecological Chemistry domain has developed rapidly worldwide. Nowaday, numerous departments, research centres and institutes were created in the field in different countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Spain, USA, Sweden, Greece, Japan, Poland, Czech Republic, etc. Taking into consideration the groing impact of anthropogenic pollution to the environment, the Ecological Chemistry domain will remain in great demand for many years to come
