Currently, LAPACE dedicated to research the following topics:
- Occurrence, fate and distribution of microplastics in the environment;
- Fate and persistence of emerging contaminants in water bodies;
- Interaction of emerging contaminants with microplastics;
- Removal of emerging contaminants from the aquatic environment using low-cost alternatives, such as photodegradation using solar radiation;
- Photodegradation of environmental contaminants using natural and artificial sensitizers;
- Development and characterization of nanostructured materials for removal of emerging contaminants;
- Use of immobilized enzymes in the removal and degradation of environmental contaminants.
