An extensive three-year experimental study on the assessment of efficiency of artificial substrata for remediation of marine environments impacted by fish farming was concluded. In collaboration with partners from abroad, we analysed fish farms of various capacities (annual production from 50 to 1000 tons) in environments that differ in their hydrographical conditions and trophic conditions (north Atlantic, north and middle Adriatic, Aegean Sea, and Red Sea)

The dose conversion factor can be determined in two different ways: through epidemiological studies (DCFE) and by using dosimetry models to mathematically simulate deposition of RnDP (free and bound) on the walls of respiratory pathways and their movement across the wall and into the bloodstream. At the current stage of knowledge, DCFD is approximately three times larger than DCFE. To contribute to the explanation of this discrepancy, research on nano-sized radon decay products in different environments was initiated a few years ago.

The two contributions describe new findings on mercury cycling the Mediterranean Sea. It has been confirmed that natural sources of mercury outweigh anthropogenic sources. We have also contributed to better understanding of mercury transformations in deep-sea sediments, where abiotic factors prevail in comparison to biotic processes.

This research is especially important from the viewpoint of users of the cement industry. In view of the requirements of the new legislation, different analytical procedures were tested for their suitability for Cr(VI) determination: HPLC-ICP-MS, FPLC-ETAAS, spectrophotometries and selective extraction

Arsenic speciation is indispensible in the fields of medicine, technological processes and in food and water. An important source of arsenic in the environments is the use of coal. The two articles in this field contribute to better understanding of As speciation in coal. With the development and validation of new methods we have also contributed to the standardisation of methods for clinical use.
