Description:
Established in 1961, the Institute of Environmental Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences conducts research in several specialties within the scope of environmental engineering, including air, soils, water/wastewater and magnetometry. For over 40 years, the Institute has been a coordinator of many national and international research projects for solving environmental problems, proving its effectiveness at organizing and leading research groups and scientific conferences. In 2008 the Institute obtained a Certificate of Research Laboratory Accreditation from the Polish Accreditation Center.
Disciplines: Environmental engineering, mining and energy
Fields of activity:
Fundamental and applied research in the field of environmental engineering, protection and forming of environment:
- Mechanics and physico-chemistry of pollutant generation; identification of sources of their generation;
- Transport and transformation of pollutants in the environment;
- Methods of control of particulate and gaseous air pollutant emission, including waste free technologies;
- Methods of pollutants removal from waste gases;
- Waste management and waste utilization;
- Assessment of the impact of non-point sources of contamination, including solid waste dumping, on natural environment, particularly the aquatic environment, soil, plants and air;
- Environmental protection against adverse impact of waste;
- Technical and biological post-industrial land reclamation;
- Application of mineral and organogenic materials and by-products for removal of chemical pollutants from water and wastewater;
- Soil magnetometry as an indicative field method for assessment of anthropogenic heavy metal content in topsoil as a result of industrial and urban dust deposition.
