Research Interests
Sources, toxicity and remediation of heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium).
Environmental Monitoring and pollution assessment.
Application of pollution indices like contamination factor, geo-accumulation index, pollution load index, ecological risk index, ecological risk factor, human health risk assessment.
Estimation of microplastics in solid waste, soil, and water.
Assessment of heavy metals in soil – sample collection, laboratory analysis and application of statistical tools like ANOVA, HCA, PCA.
Phytoremediation – use of plant species for removing or minimizing the pollution level. Calculation of phytoremediation potential of plant species.
