- Advanced clean-up technologies in different industrial processes for minimization of emissions.
- Recycling and re-use of waste materials and investigating environmental impacts of new materials.

Introduction into the fundamentals of chemical analysis:
- Advanced analytical methodologies for analysis of inorganic and organic contaminants.
- Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for the determination of elemental concentrations and hyphenated techniques like gas or liquid chromatography (GC, HPLC) coupled to ICP-MS for the determination of concentrations of chemical species of elements (speciation analysis).
- Mass spectrometry analytical techniques (tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS, GC-MS, HPLC-MS) for the determination of trace amounts of organic contaminants and their metabolites.
- Sampling protocols for gaseous, liquid and solid samples.
- Sample preservation.
- Sample pre-treatment prior to analysis.
- Metrological aspects related to industrial analytical chemistry.

Examples of selected case studies:
- The role of chromium speciation in industry and civil engineering (speciation of chromium in leather, car, cement, and steel-making industries, speciation of chromium at the workplace of welders, safe disposal of chromium-rich waste materials, re-use of waste materials containing chromium - environmental concerns).
- The role of mercury speciation in industry (chlor-alkali, petrochemical, cement, and pharmaceutical industries).
- Cycling of bisphenol A and its alternatives in the environment, food and biological matrices.
