Research Interest
Technology of Environmental Control and Protection. Development of analytical methodologies for the determination of organic compounds using gas and liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectroscopy. - Analysis of residues of organic micro-contaminants (pesticides, phenols, PCBs, etc.) in the environment (water, soil, plants and animals). - Physicochemical behavior of organic micro-contaminants in the environment. - Photolysis and photocatalytic cleavage of organic toxic compounds (pesticides and phenols) - Physical and chemical processes for cleaning and sanitizing sewage and water.
