Environmental Pollution & Agriculture (EPA)

The Environmental Pollution & Agriculture (EPA) is part of the Environmental Chemistry Department at the IDAEA. This research group is focused on the natural processes affecting to the fate of contaminants in the environment to find nature based approaches to mitigate chemical pollution and the associated impact of human activity on the ecosystems. The research lines range from environmental chemistry to environmental forensics to identify the pollution sources and the key processes affecting to their fate in the environment. Non target screening and metabolomic methods are developed to get further insight into the contaminant degradation pathways and their impacts into the downstream environment.

  • Sustainable Wastewater Treatment Systems
  • Biogeochemistry of Mercury in Ecosystems
  • Fate of Contaminants in Agroecosystems
