I focused my interests on issues related to the impact of the ore mining and processing industry on the soil and plant structure. I was particularly interested in issues related to the migration of elements in the soil environment. An important aspect of my research is the assessment of health and environmental risks related to the presence of metals in various environmental components. Currently, I am expanding the area of my research with aspects related to the use of various wastes for the purpose of land reclamation degraded by the mining and processing industry.
