ACCREDITED LABORATORY OF ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
WATER MONITORING OF
UKRAINE’s WESTERN REGION TRANS-BORDER RIVERS ON CONTENT OF HEAVY METALS AND ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

 

Solving of ecological problems at transnational level requires reliable monitoring of trans-border pollutants transfer. The project is aimed at rivers monitoring on the border of Ukraine and European Union on content of the following  pollutants:
► heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Co, Cd, Hg, Cr, Ni);
► organic compounds (phenols, aromatic hydrocarbons, chloroform, petrochemicals, synthetic detergents);
► anions (F-, NO3-, Cl-, SO42-).
► determination of hardness, ðÍ, chemical consumption of oxygen.

 
Scientific research
► improvement of direct photometric method of F- ions determination in waters;
► elaboration of new methods of organic pollutants determination;
► study of possibility of sulphureous organic compounds chemiluminescent determination;
► research of Transcarpathian natural zeolites adsorption properties with the aim  of concentrating trace amount of toxic pollutants.

The project will allow
► To create an independent inspection team for objective appraisal of trans-border rivers ecological situation.
► To fill up a data bank concerning the content of pollutants in waters.
► To study change dynamics of pollutants concentration during a year.
Additional possibilities of the accredited laboratory of analytical chemistry
► Analysis of drinking-water quality.
► Rendering services to individuals and legal entities concerning the analysis of non-ferrous and noble metals and their alloys.
► Study of crystalline structure of inorganic compounds by the methods of X-ray structural analysis.
► Arbitration analysis.
► Analysis of pharmaceutical preparations and food products quality.
