Mgr. Roman Tóth, PhD.

 

Area of research

In his scientific work, he focuses on geochemical characteristics of tailings pond material after ore mineral extraction, assessment of mobility of potentially toxic elements in soils, sediments and waters, methodology of geological and geochemical surveys of environmental burdens and study of innovative approaches of remediation of polluted matrices.
