Research areas: Investigation of the role of metal ions and metal-based nanoparticles in the environment and living organisms using the methods of chemical speciation and sizing of nanoparticles and bio-imaging of elements in biological tissues. Development of analytical methods for speciation of elements in environmental and biological samples using methods of chemical speciation and by liquid or gas chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Study of metal species transformation during the analytical procedures and their fate in the environment and living organisms by the use of stable isotopic tracers. Quantification of chemical species of elements by speciated isotope dilution (ID)-ICP-MS. Study of the partitioning of selected elements in the terrestrial and aquatic environment. |
