Research area
The Department conducts research in the field of:
-
analytics and monitoring of the quality of the environment in terms of the presence of persistent and new emerging environmental pollutants;
-
development of analytical methods for determination of selected persistent and new emerging environmental pollutants with the use of chromatographic and mass spectrometry techniques;
-
the development of effective methods for extraction of persistent and new emerging environmental pollutants from variety environmental samples with application innovative sorbents;
-
assessment of environmental fate of new emerging pollutants (i.e hydrolysis, sorption);
-
ecotoxicity assessment;
-
investigation of the potential of chemical compounds for bioaccumulation by in-vitro and in-vivo methods;
-
application of ionic liquids in chemical analysis;
-
quality control and food safety;
-
searching for alternative sources of biologically active compounds;
-
analysis of secondary metabolites of entomopathogenic fungi;
-
analysis of nutritional values and toxic compounds in edible plants.
