APVV-16-0124 - Research of boron doped diamond films for highly effective removal of pharmaceuticals, drugs and resistant types of microorganisms from waters (2017-2020, principal investigator at PriF UK). The project was focused on research of synthesis and functionalization of the boron doped diamond layers, the investigation of their properties with the focus of the effective wastewaters treatment, to the design and development of the system allowing measuring and automated treatment with transmission of the measured data for further processing. A key part of the project was HPLC-MS/MS analysis of the wastewaters composition before and after the treatment with BDD electrodes and identification of degradation products of selected micropollutants by HPLC-HRMS.

APVV-19-0250 - The occurence of microplastics and selected micropollutants in surface and drinking waters of Slovakia and their effective removal by progressive processes (2020-2024, principal investigator at PriF UK). The main objectives of the proposed project include i) the monitoring of the occurrence of microplastics, pharmaceuticals, drugs and pesticides and their metabolites in wastewater, in particular at the influent and outlet of municipal wastewater treatment plants and ii) degradation of selected microplastics, pesticides, drugs, pharmaceuticals and their metabolites in wastewater focusing on AOPs and other advanced methods focused on nanotechnologies, boron-doped diamond electrodes, active iron in form Fe(VI) and iii) identification of degradation products using methods based on HPLC-HRMS.

GX20-04676X - Holistic exposure and effect potential assessment of complex chemical mixtures in the aquatic environment, Czech Science Foundation, Grant projects of excellence in basic research EXPRO (2020-2024, co-investigator). The project will develop a conceptual framework for risk assessment of chemical mixtures and improve understanding of the cumulative risk from regulated and emerging bioactive chemicals present in surface waters. The methodology will combine innovative methods for exposure characterization using passive sampling, with bioanalytical tools for identifying its potential effects. A newly developed battery of high-throughput bioassays will address crucial mixture effects on endocrine disruption and (neuro) development, and focus also on relevant but little explored mechanisms of action including disruption of thyroid hormone signalling. Combination of high-throughput target and nontarget analyses using advanced high-resolution mass spectrometry together with fractionation and pull-down approaches will enable to characterize complex pollution scenarios and identify responsible effect drivers. The predictability of the bioanalytical responses towards real environmental situation will be assessed by investigation of in situ chemical impacts on exposed fish and invertebrates.

GA22-03754S - From brain to sperm: how psychoactive pollutants can affect fish sperm function.(2022-2024, co-investigator). Psychoactive drugs have been recognised as emerging pollutants because of their ubiquitous occurrence in the aquatic environment and effects they pose on aquatic organisms. Psychoactive drugs have a specific action on one or more neurotransmitters or neuroreceptors which are present in neuron cells both in humans and in fish. Individual targets are well conserved suggesting that psychoactive drugs in fish act through similar mechanisms as in humans. Neuronal signalling is important not only for brain function, but also the sperm function is regulated by signals, several of which correspond to neurotransmitters, specific receptors for which confirmed to be present in spermatozoa of various species. Although a lot of studies investigate the effects of psychoactive drugs on non-target organisms in aquatic environment, most of them focus on behavioural changes, whereas some of those compounds might be associated with changes in sperm function.

APVV-23-0367 - Energy efficient water treatment by advanced oxidation processes using boron doped diamond electrodes (2023-2027, principal investigator at PriF UK). Today, water treatment is one of the most important technological challenges, the management of which will determine the living conditions for future generations. Wastewaters from households, medical facilities, agriculture and manufacturing contain a large amount of harmful pollution that endangers the environment and human health. Advanced electrochemical oxidation processes using boron doped diamond electrodes are considered to be the most efficient way to eliminate micropollutants such as drugs, pesticides, dyes and other conventionally di fficult to degrade compounds. The spread of this promising technology has so far been hampered by two factors in particular: (i) the relatively high energy consumption, and (ii) the existence of potentially toxic intermediates in the degradation of complex molecules. The first aim of the project is therefore to develop an energy -efficient advanced oxidation process for representatives of various types of micropollutants by modifying the electrode power supply and by functionalizing their surface in the macro, micro and nano level. The second aim is to determine formed degradation and transformation products by high resolution mass spectroscopy. We will also experimentally investigate the possibilities of functionalization of electrode surfaces to prevent the formation of toxic compounds. Research on water pollution requires the development of rapid analytical methods for early identification of environmental disaster. The third aim of the project leading to the improvement of society's life is therefore the development of a highly sensitive sensory platform based on boron-doped diamond for the rapid analysis of water.
