Description of the research topic:
Hungary is rich in natural groundwaters, which can be used later for various purposes (e.g. drinking water, bathing water, etc.). At the same time, our natural waters can be affected by both geological and anthropogenic pollution, which can be a serious problem for the users. For example, the occurrence of arsenic in domestic drinking waters has been known since the 1980s, and according to our present knowledge mainly geological conditions cause its appearance in grounwaters (aquifiers). At the same time, our waters are often contaminated by chemicals from human sources (e.g. pesticides, drug residues, etc.). Within the framework of this topic, we study the effects of pollutants on microbial communities in natural and artificial aquatic environments. Work can serve as a basis for future bioremediation solutions
