GLOBAQUA: Managing the effects of multiple stressors on aquatic ecosystems under water scarcity

This EU-funded project has assembled a multidisciplinary consortium in order to study the interaction of multiple stressors within the frame of strong pressure on water resources. The main aim of the project is to achieve a better understanding on how current water management practices and policies could be improved by identifying their main drawbacks and alternatives.

CYTOTHREAT: Fate and effects of cytostatic pharmaceuticals in the environment and identification of biomarkers for an improved risk assessment on environmental exposure

CytoThreat addressed the need to assess the risks of pharmaceuticals released in the environment, focusing on cytostatic drugs because they are highly hazardous compounds due to their genotoxic properties which may cause unexpected long term effects. The occurrence, distribution and fate of selected widely used cytostatics in different aquatic matrices, their acute and chronic toxicity and impact on the stability of the genetic material in a variety of aquatic organisms representing different trophic levels was addressed to provide data sets necessary for scientifically based risk assessment.

CIVITAS-ELAN

The aim of the CIVITAS ELAN project was to increase the modal share of walking and cycling, support innovative freight delivery solutions, implement innovative demand management, and increase the use of cleaner and energy-efficient vehicles. The project enhanced overall road safety and reduction of air pollution. Moreover, it developed the cities’ perception as pioneers of advanced mobility concepts that offer a high quality of life. As a policy-driven project led by impact and process evaluation, the ELAN cities significantly contributed to national, EU and global transport policy changes.

ISO-FOOD: ERA Chair for Isotope Techniques in Food Quality, Safety and Traceability

The new ERA Chair was established in Summer 2014. The overall objective of the project is to enable the fusion of multidisciplinary knowledge and ideas for target-oriented research on three Pillar themes (Food authenticity, Food traceability and Food Safety) and two Horizontal themes (Metrological support and Knowledge repository).

Toxic metals and organometallic compounds in the terrestrial environment

This project investigates the occurrence, toxicity, transformation and mobility of chromium and organotin compounds in sewage sludge and landfill leachates by applying hyphenated chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques. To follow the species transformation and methylation processes in sewage sludge and landfill leachates enriched stable isotopes are used.

Evaluation of quality and safety parameters of vegetables produced on different systems in Slovenia and abroad with aim to establish national quality scheme for vegetables

The origin, quality and storability of vegetable in Slovenia are studied using the combination of stable isotopes, elemental composition and microbiological analysis.

The effect of iodine and selenium on growth and quality of crops

The main objective of the project is to improve food and yield nutritional quality throughout: (1) the study on plants receive/take up added iodine and selenium; (2) the study of the individual or combined effect on growth, crop yield and other characteristics of plants; and (3) the development of reliable analytical methods for speciation of both investigated elements in food of plant origin.

NEREUS: Pharmaceutical and personal care product residues in the environment: Occurrence, sources, treatments and effects

In response to the escalating problem of water shortage, treated wastewater is nowadays widely reused, and is generally considered as a reliable alternative water source for irrigation and replenishment among other applications. The ever-increasing shortage of water, the increasing needs for food security of the expanding world population, the increasing demand for irrigation water both in respect to good quality and quantity, renders the reuse a 'sine qua non' condition. Currently, sustainable and safe urban water cycles have a high priority on the policy agenda of many EU Member States and elsewhere. The overall benefit of this COST Action is that it will consolidate the existing scattered data related to reuse, and address the open challenges associated with it. It will provide the platform for a systematic consolidation of data and standardization of methods for assessing emerging hazards associated with reuse.

Pharmaceutical and personal care product residues in the environment: Occurrence, sources, treatments and effects

The major goal of this project is to provide information on the occurrence of pharmaceutical personal care product (PPCP) residues in the environment and to evaluate their potential threat to an ecosystem’s wellbeing and consequently to human health. To accomplish this goal we are developing ultra-trace level analytical methods to quantify PPCP residues (parent compounds, metabolites – if applicable, and environmental transformation products) in different matrices. Sophisticated spectrometric techniques are being applied to evaluate their occurrence, sources and pathways and characterise those processes that govern their fate. Finally their adverse effects in the environment will be assessed.

Development of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and their application in environmental and bio-analysis

The project aims to investigate the occurrence and fate of pharmaceutical residues, defined as parent compounds, metabolites and transformation products (TPs). Since the quantitative analysis of pharmaceuticals in complex matrices is limited to a group of predetermined analytes, TPs are often overlooked, and as they occur in trace levels, the analytical method sensitivity is often insufficient to detect them. This project will overcome these limitations by using novel Molecularly Imprinted sorbents for Solid Phase Extraction (MISPE sorbents) to improve determination of pharmaceutical residues in complex matrices. Fundamentally, the cross-selectivity provided by MISPE sorbents will be exploited for extraction of structurally related compounds, specifically pharmaceutical residues, which goes beyond what is possible using the state-of-the-art analytical methods.

Sustainability assessment for electricity generation in Slovenia by the year 2050

This study developed and presented an approach to systematic, transparent, and reproducible appraisal of sustainability as related to electricity production. It was oriented towards identifying reliable, rational, and environmentally sound production of electric energy in Slovenia by 2050.

INTEG-Risk

The EU project iNTeg-Risk (Early Recognition, Monitoring, and Integrated Management of Emerging, New Technology related Risks) is a project in the area of “Nano-sciences, Nano-technologies, Materials and new Production Technologies” (FP 7). iNTeg-Risk coordinates research for establishing a common EU approach to face the challenge of emerging risks. Different sub-projects deal with emerging risks in the existing and new installations throughout the EU and pre-accession countries. Examples of these sub-projects are Port of Koper (Slovenia) and Oil Refinery in Pančevo (Serbia) in which the JSI researchers are involved.

Human biomonitoring in Slovenia

The main objective of the human biomonitoring programme is to provide data on exposure of the inhabitants of Slovenia to environmental chemicals (pollutants) and to look at spatial differences in exposure. The study population includes lactating women who have given birth for the first time and men from the same area in the age from 20-40 years. We analyse selected toxic chemicals including toxic elements (cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic) and persistant organic pollutants (dioxins, furans, organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polybrominated flame retardants) in blood, breast milk, urine and/or hair. The data obtained will allow a health risk assessment of Slovenian population as well as further development and implementation of risk reduction measures. Partners: Ministry of Health RS, Chemical Office of the RS, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, former regional institutes of Public Health, and regional hospitals and health centres.

Radon in schools and kindergardens of Slovenia

Within this project, indoor radon was surveyed in the majority of Slovenian kindergartens and schools. The main goal was to find out radon levels, to identify main radon sources and define radon prone areas, in which more attention is needed in designing and constructing new buildings, in order to assure satisfactory low exposure to radon indoors.

Monitoring of natural radionuclides within the Žirovski vrh uranium mine

Nowadays, an underground mine is closed, while two deposits with mining and hydrometallurgical wastes are remediated according to legislation. The determination of activity concentrations of radionuclides from uranium decay chain in sediments, water and food became even more important in monitoring environmental contamination and ensuring radioecological safety, because the timescale of pollution generation in piles containing wastes from mining and acid production of yellow cake can be very long. Ongoing environmental monitoring for water analysis includes determination of ²³⁸U, ²³⁰Th, ²²⁶Ra, ²¹⁰Pb and 210Po in water samples from mine water and the outflow water in the drainage system under the waste disposals.

Norman: Network of reference laboratories, research centres and related organisations for monitoring of emerging environmental substances

The NORMAN network enhances the exchange of information on emerging environmental substances, and encourages the validation and harmonisation of common measurement methods and monitoring tools so that the requirements of risk assessors and risk managers can be better met. It specifically seeks both to promote and to benefit from the synergies between research teams from different countries in the field of emerging substances.

EVISA: European Virtual Institute for Speciation Analysis

EVISA's web portal is the primary source of information for all those seeking for information related to element speciation analysis and related topics.

JRP MeTra - Traceability for mercury measurements

Mercury in its many chemical forms is highly toxic to human, animal and environmental health. Its ability to accumulate in terrestrial and aquatic biosystems makes it a particularly insidious threat to environmental sustainability. Its long lifetimes and ability to be transported in air over long distances mean that it is ubiquitous to all environmental compartments and is a pollutant of global concern.
