Objectives:
the accomplishment of a complex research regarding the soil pollution, especially of those that are neighboring the oil exploitation and refinery stations (pollutant type, pollution degree, pollution depth);
the determination in real time by fluorescence of the soil oil contaminants;
Modern and complex methodology for monitoring of food supplements from raw material to end-product, SUPLIMET
Objectives:
studies, analyses and documentation for the methodology elaboration;
elaborating a methodology for the monitoring of food supplements starting with the raw materials and ending with the product;
experimenting the methodology;
Pharmacogenomic impact of the determination of VKORC1 and CYP2C9 genes over the efficacy, safety and costs of the anticoagulant treatment, TROMBOGEN
Objectives:
to investigate the pharmacogenomic status of the patients, from both geno- andphenotypic point of view;
to reveal the polymorphism of the CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genes, and alsoof the genes involved in the thrombophilia phenomenon (Factor V Leiden, FII G20210A, PAI-1 4G/5G, MTHFR C677T and A1298C) and the possible relationship between the presence of these polymorphisms and the response to acenocumarol treatment;
Development of spectrometric methods for identifying and tracking sources and pollution potential using analysis of trace rare earth,
Objectives:
The purpose of the project is the development and validation of complex analytical methods that can provide very useful information on pollution sources and their potential of pollution (especially tailings and ponds), methods based on mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS), for determination of isotopic ratios and rare earth, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the mineralogy.
Multi-element analysis of apples, pears and corresponding leaves and blossom leaves as indicators for yield and sites of origin, as well as contributions to human nutrition, APLON
Objectives:
The polyphenols and metals from fruits have an important role in maintaining a good function of the organism. The benefic or negative role of these compounds on the organism is given by the concentration level in which they are found in fruits. The concentration level is strongly influenced by the cultivation area, grower, the pollution level in the area, environmental factors and other less important factors.
Assessment of metals bioavailability in soils and sediments using Diffusive Gradients in Thin-films technique, chemical extractions and biological methods , BIOMET
Objectives:
Studies have demonstrated that biological effects are not related to the total concentration of a contaminant in the environment. Biological responses of organisms have been shown to be related to the concentration of labile metal species in environment and, at international level is expressed the need to evaluate risk of exposure to toxic metals in terms of their bioavailability.
Integration of metrological principles to environmental analysis, METROMED
Objectives:
Measurement traceability, uncertainty evaluation, method validation, interlaboratory comparisons and quality assurance and quality control are integral part of accreditation of laboratories. They must be implemented in order to fulfill requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025.
