Long range transport of pollutants in the atmosphere To use trace elements as markers of transport. To determine types and quantities of pollutants that are transported from Europe to the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. To identify source regions in the Europe which contribute to the observed concentrations of pollutants in the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions.
Precipitation chemistry: To determine chemical composition of wet and dry deposition. To investigate factors affecting acidity and chemical parameters in precipitation. To identify reactive contributions of in-cloud and below-cloud processes on pollutant concentrations in precipitation. To study wet and dry deposition of pollutants, including acidic species and toxic trace elements, to water and forest ecosystems.
Receptor Modelling: To use receptor modelling approach to determine sources and their contributions on atmospheric aerosol in urban and industrial areas.Environmental Analytical Chemistry: To develop contamination free aerosol and precipitation sampling techniques. To improve sample handling procedures for determination of trace elements in precipitation and aerosols. To standardise available analytical techniques for routine analysis of large number of environmental samples.
Trace metal chemistry in sediments: To study the changes in the trace element composition of the suspended particles in rivers when they flow into the sea. To find trace element markers in marine sediments that can be used to monitor discharges from specific sources.
