Ecotoxicology Research Group

Ecotoxicological studies conducted by the Ecotoxicology Research Group are as follows:
  • chemical analyses in the range of environmental studies:
    • analysis of concentrations/residues of chemical substances in water, soil, plant and animal material, food,
    • fate and behaviour of chemical substances in the environment,
  • evaluation of harmful effects of plant protection products, chemical substances and preparations on water organisms necessary to register them and to analyze danger and assess environmental risks,
  • apitoxicological studies,
  • evaluation of the impact of chemical substances on soil organisms which is necessary to receive the permission to use and sell them.
