Specific research topics in the field of organic contaminants in the aquatic water cycle

• Target and Nontarget analytics of polar organic trace compounds and their transformation products by means of HPLC coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry
• Compound specific isotope analytics (CSIA) as tool for the identification of transformation pathways and the elucidation of reaction mechanisms
• Development of structure-biodegradation-relationships (QSBR)
• Combining of experimental field studies with modeling on different scales
• Evaluation of measures in the urban water cycle for the elimination of micropollutants
• Site-directed agriculture
• Combined exposure and effect studies
