1. Addictive substances and their metabolites in waters

   Supervisor: Čáslavský Josef, prof. Ing., CSc.

2. Assessment of contamination of sewage and surface water from the class of antibiotic drugs

   Based on the background research will be processed for the study of selected antibiotics which is most frequently found in waste water are frequently applied in the treatment. After making your selection will be optimized for their determination methods based separation methods using mass spectrometry. Wastewater treatment will be monitored each treatment stage and will be considered where it can lead to removal of monitored drugs, or their degradation.

4. Contamination of waste water treatment plants synthetic fragrances

   Selected analytes from different wastewater treatment plants will be monitored using the methods of environmental analysis and ecotoxicology

5. Determination of organic compounds in the combustion tar and gasification of biomass

   The thesis will be solved current issues gasification of biomass and waste with a view to evaluating the hazardous substances contained in the gas product and tar. Will be observed priority organic pollutants polluting environmental components by using modern analytical separation procedures which will be optimized and validated for the purposes of assessing contamination. The results will be interpreted in terms of both the optimization of thermal processing of biomass and waste, as well as from the perspective of environmental pollution.

7. Effects of climate and environ. change on the composition and quality of biota in the Lower Miocene of the North Bohemian

   Samples of sedimentary rocks from exploration boreholes will be analysed using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. The target group of compounds include aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alkenones and related species sensitive to climatic temperature and other characteristics of the environment. The results are expected to contribute to understanding of the climate change impacts on the quality of life in the context of the geological history.

8. Environmental and ecotoxicological assessment of flame retardants as process contaminants

   In the framework of the studies will be identified selected flame retardants, which are most widely used in the manufacture of electronic equipment. Their content will be determined in the components taken from both the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems close to the plants. Furthermore, these selected pollutants will be detected in the soil and in the ashes after the fire. In addition to its own determination of their content in the matrix after the fire is also conducted ecotoxicological assessment.

10. Polar pesticides in agricultural products

    Polar pesticides are a group of contaminants present in the aquatic ecosystem and the food chain. These compounds having a persistent or quasi-persistent behaviour also have a negative impact on living organisms. Due to its characteristics are difficult to ascertain. The objective of this study is the development of analytical methods for the determination of the polar pesticides in agricultural products and determination of their concentrations in this commodity.

11. Possibilities of using mollusca in ecotoxicity tests

    The aim of this work is the use of terrestrial organisms from the group mollusca (Helicidae) in ecotoxicity tests. The effects of contaminants in the anthropogenically contaminated matrices on juvenile stages of terrestrial snails will be monitored. The work will follow the methodology of ISO 15952 Soil quality - Effects of pollutants on juvenile land snails stage. In the first stage of doctoral work the methodology on mollusca will be implemented in the workplace at The Institute of Chemistry and Technology of Environmental Protection. After obtaining standardized individuals these will be use to assess the ecotoxicity of contaminated matrices applied to terrestrial ecosystems such as sludge and sediment. Another possible option is to use mollusca as bioindicators of pollution via chemical analysis of their bodies.

12. Study of the 3-chloropropanediol occurrence in food

    3-MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1 ,2-diol or 3-chloro-1 ,2-propanediol) is a byproduct, which can occur in foods mostly by protein hydrolysis after addition of hydrochloric acid to accelerate the reaction of soy protein with lipids at high temperatures. It is very suspicious of genotoxicity to humans and causes male infertility. The aim of the study is the development of analytical methods for the determination of 3-MCPD in different food commodities, the analysis of a representative sample of foods potentially containing this compound and verification dependence of 3-MCPD technology training.
