Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Underground coal extraction at Coal Mine Velenje occasionally gives rise to odour complaints from local residents and irritates and disturbs the miners at work in the mine. This work describes a robust quantification of odorous emissions of mine sources and a model-based analysis aimed to establish a better understanding of …

Metrology of mercury measurements in the air

Author(s): Jan Gačnik (Author), Jože Kotnik (Supervisor), Milena Horvat (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2022

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Atmospheric mercury (Hg) plays an important role in the biogeochemical Hg cycle. Hg species in the atmosphere are present in very low concentrations. While gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) is relatively inert, gaseous oxidized (GOM) and particulate-bound (PBM) mercury are highly reactive. These characteristics of atmospheric Hg species make the speciation …
