The center consists of 12 collaborators including 1 Doctor of Science (Dr.Sci.), 3 specialists with Ph.D, and 8 engineers.

The center participates in the implementation of 2 projects of the Program of fundamental scientific research of National academies of science for 2013-2020, 3 international projects and 4 grants from RFBR. The Center has been accredited by the Federal accreditation service of the Russian Federation as a testing laboratory (center).

Major trends of research:

• analysis of environmental objects (surface, ground and drinking water, soil, fauna and flora) for microelements (especially toxic ones), mineral, organic and biogenic substances;
• development of methods for sampling and analysis of environmental objects (rapid tests, collection of representative samples, methods of conservation and concentration, mathematical data processing);
• study of transboundary transport of contaminants and moisture with precipitation to the underlying-surface;
• glaciochemical studies of the Altai mountain glaciers for paleoclimate reconstruction and the evaluation of global, regional and local transport and emission of pollutants in the Central Asian region;
• activities on the assessment of complex environmental situations in and beyond the Siberian region.
