(Ref. 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 13, 16, 21, 27, 34, 46, 47, 52, 54, 60, 62, 63, 65, 66, 68, 72, 73, 75, 76, 86, 90, 91, 93, 105, 107, 108, 111, 117).

3)      DMS and DMSP. Study of sulphur species and relationship to biogeochemical cycles in urban and pristine environments. (Ref. 4, 10, 14, 18, 22, 23, 41).

4)      Cultural heritage. Chemical characterization of paper documents and inks. (Ref. 45, 48, 53, 57, 69)

5)      Persistent organic pollutants. Sources, environmental cycling, fate and behaviour of persistent organic pollutants in the atmosphere, soils and oceans. Development of gas chromatography mass spectrometry-based advanced analytical methodology for trace and ultra-trace determinations in environmental and biological matrices in polar and temperate environment. (Ref. 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 49, 50, 51, 55, 77, 78, 79, 84, 85, 92, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99, 106, 111, 113, 117, 119)

6)      Water soluble compounds. Fate, behaviour and processing of water soluble organic compounds in the environment matrixes (aerosol, water, biota, sediment). Development of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry-based advanced analytical methodology for trace and ultra-trace determinations in environmental and biological matrices. (Ref. 43, 44, 56, 58, 59, 61, 64, 67, 70, 71, 74, 80, 81, 82, 83, 87, 88, 89, 96, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 108, 109, 110, 112, 114, 115, 116, 118)
