Open uncontrolled burning of plastic waste – measuring / modelling prevalence, emissions and impacts on climate change and human health exposure

Solid waste management remains a major sustainability challenge globally, and especially in the Global South, where substantial quantities of (uncollected) waste are often set in fire as a means of disposal or resource recovery. Read more

Development of a novel analytical platform combining laser-based techniques and multivariate data analysis for the characterisation of radioactive waste disposal materials

  Research Group: Analytical and Atomic Spectroscopy
The aim of this project is the development of an analytical platform based on the combination of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with multivariate data analysis, for the rapid, cost-effective and waste-free characterisation of solid materials relevant to the nuclear industry and radioactive waste disposal.
