Laboratory for Analytical Chemistry and Biogeochemistry of Organic Compounds
Systematic investigation of biogeochemical behaviour of organic compounds as a basis for a comprehensive environmental risk assessment.
Voditelj
Our research and scientific work includes:
- Development of highly specific methods for the determination of individual organic compounds as molecular markers of environmental processes
- Laboratory and field investigations of the processes, which govern behaviour and fate of organic compounds in the environment
- Identification of emerging contaminants using effects-directed analysis (EDA) approach
- Estimating the impact of pollutants on microbial communities in the enviroment
- Characterization of microbial communities as potential catalysts for biodegradation of organic pollutants - determining of catabolic and genetic potential for degradation
- Study of novel technologies for the elimination of environmental toxicants
