doc. RNDr. Stanislav Rapant, DrSc.
Area of research
Currently, in his professional activities, he focuses mainly on solving the project " Improving of health status of inhabitants of the Slovak Republic through drinking water recarbonization " (LIFE – WATER and HEALTH). As part of this project, the content of Ca and Mg in drinking water is increased in two municipalities of the Slovak Republic – Devičie and Kokava nad Rimavicou. In the village of Devičie and in the village of Kokava nad Rimavicou we increase the content of Ca and Mg in drinking water by dissolving carboniferous rock (half-burned dolomite) in the so-called recarbonization reactor. For the last 15 years he has been devoted mainly to the issue of medical geochemistry. He has dealt with and led several Slovak projects (e.g. Environmental and Health Indicators of the Slovak Republic; Medical-geochemical research of the Spiš-Gemer Mountains, Upper part of Nitra, and Banskoštiavnica Region). For the last 10 years, it has been dealing with projects funded by the EU from the LIFE programme: GEOHEALTH, LIFE FOR KRUPINA and LIFE – WATER and HEALTH.
