Radiochemia na Uniwersytecie Gdańskim

At the beginning, in 1996, the Environmental Radiochemistry Laboratory at the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Gdańsk was established, and since 2013, the unit has been operating as the Environmental Chemistry and Radiochemistry Department. The research conducted for many years includes the determination of natural and artificial radionuclides in natural samples, radiochemical analysis, understanding the distribution and accumulation of radioactive elements in marine and terrestrial organisms, biogeochemistry of radioactive isotopes in the ecosystem of the southern Baltic Sea, migration of radioactive elements in the environment, application of the occurrence of radioactive disequilibrium between radioisotopes to determine the potential sources of origin of radioactive isotopes in natural ecosystems, determination of natural and artificial radionuclides in food products and radiological effects of their intake with food. The duties of the Department's employees also include academic teaching. Courses at various levels within the first and second cycle studies at the Faculty of Chemistry and at the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics are conducted in the following fields: Chemistry, Chemical Business, Environmental Protection, Biology, Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection, both in Polish and in English.
