Prof. Dr. Jan Schwarzbauer
Current research topics:

• Sources, transport and fate of organic contaminants in water and sediments of surface water systems
• Impact of anthropogenic xenibiotics on riverine systems
• Structure elucidation of still unknown organic contaminants
• Analytical investigations on pollution sources of surface and ground water (industrial emissions, municipal effluents, waste deposit seepage water, mining effluents etc.)
• Organic-geochemical characterization of bound residues in riverine particulate matter
• Compound specific isotpe anaylsis of organic pollutants
• Geochronology of organic contamination in riverine sediment archives and generation of correlated pollution histories
• Detection and quantification of synthetic polymers in river water, municipal effluents, sewage slugde and soil
