Polar Environmental Laboratory (PEL) was established at NCPOR to facilitate environmental monitoring of Indian Antarctic stations. Studies on Aerosol and mercury cycle over Southern Ocean and Polar regions have also been initiated to understand effect of aerosol perturbation on climate change. Following instrumentation facilities are available at PEL.
