Preliminary scope of work

Cílem diplomové práce je studium výskytu specifických látek z kategorie PPCP, mikroplastů a léčiv, jako netradiční stopovač pohybu podzemní vody. Tyto látky jsou zcela jednoznačně produktem antorpogenní aktivity a dnešní analytické metody jsou schopné je detekovat v koncentracích řádově v ng/l. Diplomová práce bude součástí mezinárodního projektu INTERREG Central Europe, MicroDrink, která poskytne aktuální podkaldová data. Na vybraných pilotních lokalitách diplomant zpracuje informace o chování látek PPCP na jejich cestě od zdroje, přes cestu v kolektoru až po infiltrační místo, případně místo odběru podzemní vody. Zdrojovou oblastí jsou primárně čistírny odpadnách vod, a sekundárně infiltrace říční vody do přilehlých kolektorů.

Preliminary scope of work in English

The aim of the thesis is to study the occurrence of specific substances from the PPCP category, microplastics and pharmaceuticals, as a non-traditional tracer of groundwater movement. These substances are clearly the product of anthorpogenic activity, and today's analytical methods are able to detect them in concentrations of the order of ng/l. The diploma thesis will be part of the international project INTERREG Central Europe, MicroDrink, which will provide current background data. At the selected pilot locations, the student will process information on the behavior of PPCP substances on their way from the source, through the path in the collector to the infiltration site, or the place of groundwater abstraction. The source area is primarily wastewater treatment plants, and secondarily river water infiltration into adjacent aquifers.
