Conduct research in areas characterization and remediation of contaminated areas (soils and groundwater) and hazardous waste management:

• Remediation of water contaminated by petroleum products.
• Application of innovative remediation technologies of contaminated soil / groundwater (air sparging, bioslurping).
• Study / identification of contaminated areas - assessing the current situation of pollution.
• Management of hazardous - special waste.
