Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE


Description of the research topic:

Production and industrial utilization of manufactured nanoparticles has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. It is inevitable that a considerable fraction of the total produced nanoparticles will finally find its way from the industry and consumer products to different environmental compartments such as air, water and soil. Despite
growing concerns regarding the environmental risks of nanoparticles, as of today’s knowledge about their transport, possible transformations, final fate and concentration in the ecosystems is scarce. In this program various nanoparticles are tested to characterize their effect on plant productivity and metabolism through different exposition ways. Both potential toxicity and stimulatory effects are evaluated especially for new nanoparticles manufactured for using as fertilizers.

Required language skills: English (at least B2 level)
Further requirements: 
basic knowledge in plant physiology and or plant nutrition

Number of students who can be accepted: 1
