Dr. Janja Svetina completed a one-month research visit at the prestigious Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy, where she was a guest researcher with the groundwater engineering research group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During her visit, she conducted research on the adsorption of PFAS compounds onto activated carbon and explored the potential use of organic dyes as indirect indicators in this type of research. PFAS\u2014compounds also known as \u00bbforever chemicals\u00ab due to their exceptional persistence in the environment \u2014are one of the greatest challenges today in the fields of environmental protection and water treatment, as some of these compounds are also associated with serious risks to human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main objective of the visit was to gain new knowledge in the field of groundwater remediation and to strengthen international cooperation, which will enable the transfer of advanced research approaches to the Slovenian research community. The visit is taking place as part of the GeoZS A-GRem development project.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Dr. Janja Svetina je opravila enomese\u010dni raziskovalni obisk na ugledni italijanski Politehni\u010dni univerzi v Torinu, kjer je gostovala pri raziskovalni skupini za in\u017eenirstvo podzemnih voda. V okviru gostovanja se je ukvarjala z raziskavami adsorpcije PFAS spojin na aktivno oglje ter prou\u010devala mo\u017enosti uporabe organskih barvil kot posrednih kazalnikov pri tovrstnih raziskavah.
