Advanced nanoscale analysis is essential for environmental monitoring, enabling the detection of micro- and nanoplastics as well as various pollutants, in solid, liquid, and gas phase samples including products and their components. The used methodology allows for precise assessment of their impact on ecosystems and supports the development of targeted solutions. By identifying pollution sources, tracking pollutant distribution, and implementing effective strategies, nanoscale analysis contributes significantly to creating cleaner and more sustainable environments.
We combine optical and non-optical imaging on the nanoscale towards a unique national nanoscale chemical imaging facility
