Mgr. Tomáš Faragó, PhD.
Area of research
He is focused on experimental and field study of mobilization of risk contaminants in the environment of contaminated matrices of environmental loads through lysimetric/rhison experiments. He also deals with the study of selected stabilizing agents (nZVI, nZVI/BC, BC, AMO) in terms of their effectiveness in immobilization/stabilization of contaminants (As, Sb, Cu, Zn, Pb, etc.), especially in the long term.
