Research Focus
Dr. Agnieszka Marta Popenda’s research primarily revolves around environmental engineering, with a particular focus on water and sediment contamination. She investigates the behavior of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in various environmental matrices 🧪. Her work explores the redox potential effects on metals, the treatment processes for sewage and sludge, and the remediation of PAH-contaminated areas 🛠️. Dr. Popenda is also interested in the removal of micropollutants from soils and sediments, and sustainable water management 💧. She employs both biotic and abiotic techniques to address these critical environmental issues 🌍.
