More detailed information about the research infrastructure/laboratory
- Description and data about the research infrastructure/laboratory:
It is equipped with a dedicated atomic absorption spectrometer for determining mercury (AMA 254) in solid and liquid samples, and for the identification and determination of organic and some inorganic substances using a UV–VIS spectrometer (Cintra 20). The instruments are used for forensic analysis of mercury in environmental samples and for the determination of selected pollutants in environmental waters. The equipment is applied in the teaching process, e.g., in the courses Environmental Monitoring, Water Quality and Water Management, and others. It is also used when conducting the experimental parts of theses, including doctoral theses. -
List of instrumentation:
- AMA 254 atomic absorption spectrometer
- Cintra 20 UV–VIS spectrometer
-
Justification of uniqueness/strategic importance:
The laboratory is used for basic analysis of pollutants in the environment, with a focus on mercury analysis in the solid components of the environment, including biological material. -
Assignment of the research infrastructure to research areas:
- environmental monitoring, water management, waste engineering
