Research highlight

We analyze concentrations, speciation, spatial and time variations and transition of chemical compounds in water, soil, plant and atmosphere to investigate phenomena occurring in the environment. Analytical chemistry is tools as well as our research area for determinations of compounds in different samples with different matrix with short time resolutions. We are now investigating atmospheric volatile compounds produced from plants and phytoplankton, especially their role in particle formation and chemical attracting.
