Main research directions:

• The development/implementation/application of high-performance, high-sensitivity methods that allow the identification and quantification of small concentrations of metals present in micronized powders;
• Identification, development and validation of new methods for evaluating air quality from the point of view of odor emissions, especially emissions due to surface and volume diffuse sources;
• Evaluation of the level of chemical and noise pollution through direct measurements and/or mathematical modeling, as follows:
  – research on ambient air quality through mathematical modeling of the dispersion of pollutants in the air;
  – studies regarding the assessment of the level of noise pollution by developing sound wave dispersion maps;
  – research on the evaluation of the level of mechanical vibrations due to various activities adjacent to inhabited areas;
• Evaluation of the level of odor and olfactory discomfort due to technological processes generating compounds with unpleasant odors;
• Research on the quantification of airborne allergens (plant pollen), by applying biomarker techniques, with the aim of evaluating air quality and its influence on quality of life – aerobiological monitoring;
• Studies to verify the validity of the results of measurements of automatic analyzers by comparison with reference methods;
• Research on the use of waste (from the textile and leather industry) to obtain sound-absorbing composite materials.
