Faina Gelman, senior researcher at the Environmental Organic Chemistry of the Ministry of Energy (Israel), Geological Survey of Israel, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem visited RUDN University
On the 22 May, 2018 Dr. F. Gelman gave a lecture for students and staff on the topic: «Analysis of stable isotopes for tracing organic pollutants in the environment».
Dr. F. Gelman said that the weakening of the impact of organic pollutants on the environment can arise as a result of degradation and / or degradation transformation. The degradation of a pollutant as a result of biological or chemical processes can lead to its mineralization and transformation into other organic compounds. However, in some cases, decomposition products may be even more dangerous than the original pollutant. In connection with this, in their studies the scientific group Dc. F. Gelman develops and uses multi-element isotope analysis to investigate the decomposition of organic pollutants in the environment. At the center of their research are groundwater pollution by gasoline hydrocarbons, brominated hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
In 2024, RUDN started accepting applications for the new annual Prize for Scientific Achievement in Chemistry. The award was established to honour contributions to fundamental and applied research, as well as merit in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We continue to share the stories of front-line soldiers who created the Peoples’ Friendship University. Georgy Bruchinsky was born in 1917, graduated from the Leningrad Forestry Academy in 1939, and in 1941 graduated from the basic faculty of the Ivanovo Military Political School.
On the eve of Victory Day, we share the stories of front-line soldiers who, after the Great Patriotic War, participated in the creation of the Peoples' Friendship University and educated a new generation of students.
