Environmental Monitoring and
Modelling Division
The Environmental Monitoring and
Modelling Division (EMMD) develops and implements comprehensive air and water
quality monitoring programmes
to provide timely and reliable information on Singapore's air and water
quality. Through scientific monitoring, data analysis and modelling, EMMD
supports evidence-based environmental management, policy development and
operational decision-making to safeguard public health and the environment.
EMMD's work encompasses environmental quality monitoring
including ambient
air, coastal and inland water, pollution incident management and
response, air and water dispersion modelling studies and environmental
research. Such research looks into
long-term environmental trends to better understand the complex interactions of
chemicals and pollutants in the environment and gain greater insights on
emerging pollutants (e.g., marine litter and microplastics). Working closely with government
agencies, research institutions and industry partners, EMMD continuously
strengthens Singapore's environmental monitoring capabilities to support a
clean, resilient and sustainable environment.
