September, 2017 We have new paper in J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys: Influence of repetition frequency on streamer-to-spark breakdown mechanism in transient spark discharge

Division of Environmental Physics represents a part of the Department of Astronomy, Physics of the Earth and Meteorology at Faculty of mathematics, physics and computer science, Comenius University Bratislava.

The interests and scientific research of our work group includes basic study of plasma physics and physics of electrical discharges, their utilization on various bio-medical applications (bio-decontamination of water and surfaces, ...), and treatment of gaseous and liquid pollutants.

Besides, we also deal with other, non-plasmatic, technologies for utilization of organic waste, depollution of exhaust gases, and alternative sources of energy (hydrogen, wind and solar).

As a consequence of experiments of exhaust gas treatment by electric discharges, we also work in the field of the theory of origins of life on Earth. We study possibilities of the formation of organic compounds from inorganic gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water) by action of electric discharges.

Members of our division participate also in the education process at our faculty. We are involved in several study programs: environmental physics, bio-physics, optics and plasma physics.
