Members of the programme group led applied researches for six producers of beverages and bottled waters: Dana d.d., Juliana d.o.o., Plastenka Radomlje, Uskok d.o.o, Fructal, živilska industrija, d.d. and Union brewery d.d. They cooperated in development of additional technology for drinking water supply and in sanitation of exploitation problems. Members of the programme team also had an important role in development of new products. With the company Uskok d.o.o. they collaborated in development of new bottled water Costella.
F.14 Improvements to existing production methods and tools or processes
COBISS.SI-ID: 1253461The important part of the programme team work is also the investigation of the impacts of the urbanization on soils and waters. The main emphasis is on the study of the pollution of the water environments which is caused by roads and road-traffic. In the last decade we have intensely collaborated in planning, projecting and construction of a highway net, being above all involved in groundwater protection. The results of this work are many detailed reports and also the development of some new methodologies for evaluation of negative influences of roads and road-traffic.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 1265237Dr. Mateja Gosar took part as an invited speaker in the international Symposium »Arsenic contamination and Environmental Treatments« in Seoul (Korea). The symposium was organized by »Korea society of economic and environmental geology«. She presented paper entitled »Arsenic and other heavy metals enrichments in Slovenian soils«. The impact of mining and metallurgic industry in Slovenia, with regard to arsenic contents in soils in some potentially contaminated areas, was discussed in the presented paper.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 1182293Investigations represent one of the largest projects in the field of geological investigations that were in the last decade performed in Slovenia. The project comprised classical geological investigations with research-drilling, regional geological investigations, geophysical, hydrogeological, geochemical and geomechanical investigations. On the basis of performed investigations, new knowledge about geological structural elements of wider Krško area as well as knowledge about microlocation, were obtained.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 1509717In the area of municipality Tržič we determined the state of soil pollution. The objective of the research project concerning the abandoned mercury mine in Podljubelj was to establish the contents and spatial distributions of elements in soil. The attention of the research was focused on the extension of Hg pollution which is a consequence of past mining and smelting activities. By soil and sediment sampling it was established that on an area of about 9 hectares Hg contents in soil exceed the Slovenian critical values for soil. The research outcomes were presented also to the local community.
