Our environmental-research field is situated in the fundamental and methodological research related to micro- and trace analysis with applications in environmental, cultural heritage conservation and material science. Main topics are the atmospheric deposition of nutrients and heavy metals, aerosols in remote areas, the damage to museums by air pollution, the relation of aerosol concentrations and health problems, ... We are also involved in projects for the development and testing of new analytical instruments or techniques, e.g. for aerosols, precious metals and cement-related products.
