Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field, which integrates chemical, physical, and biological sciences to study environmental problems and human impact on the environment. This article highlights the use of solid-state NMR spectroscopy (SSNMR) in studies of environmental processes and remediation with examples from both laboratory studies and samples collected in the field. The contemporary topics presented include soil chemistry, environmental remediation (e.g., heavy metals and radionuclides removal, carbon dioxide mineralization), and phosphorus recovery. SSNMR is a powerful technique, which provides atomic-level information about speciation in complex environmental samples as well as the interactions between pollutants and minerals/organic matter on different environmental interfaces. The challenges in the application of SSNMR in environmental science (e.g., measurement of paramagnetic nuclei and low-gamma nuclei) are also discussed, and perspectives are provided for the future research efforts.

环境科学是一个跨学科领域，它将化学，物理和生物科学融为一体，以研究环境问题和人类对环境的影响。本文重点介绍了固态NMR光谱学（SSNMR）在环境过程和修复研究中的应用，并列举了实验室研究和现场采样的实例。提出的当代主题包括土壤化学，环境修复（例如，重金属和放射性核素的去除，二氧化碳的矿化）和磷的回收。SSNMR是一项强大的技术，可提供有关复杂环境样品中物种形成以及不同环境界面上污染物与矿物质/有机物之间相互作用的原子级信息。
