Research Topics
- Management of international projects on sewage sludge and waste and diffusion of results.
- Implementation of Stockholm Convention for the reduction of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) from industrial sources (waste incinerators, pulp&paper mills, industrial and power boilers, asphalt production, etc) and not-industrial sources (open burning of waste in dumpsites) with UNIDO (United Nations industrial development organization)
- Set up and use of analytical techniques for the evaluation of emissions of organic micro pollutants (Dioxins, PCBs, PAHS) from industrial sources and waste disposal.

Research activities / Ongoing Projects
- Management and dissemination of results of the European research project “ROUTES, Novel processing routes for effective sewage sludge management”
- Evaluation of the releases of dioxins and furans, PCBs, HCB and mercury from power and industrial boilers in East South East Asia countries (ESEA) in the framework of the and set up of project on waste incinerators and, open burning of waste in African and Asian countries, in the framework of the activities of UNIDO (United nations Industrial development Organization)
- Set up of three UNIDO projects for the reduction of POPs from waste incineration and open burning of waste in Asian countries (ESEA) and African countries (COMESA-SADC)
