Anna Parus

Anna Parus is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Organic Chemistry at the Poznań University of Technology, Poland. She holds a DSc in Engineering and specializes in environmental chemistry, focusing on xenobiotics and soil remediation. Her work bridges agricultural chemicals, ionic liquids, and microplastic interactions.

• Education: PhD (2010) in Chemical Sciences
• Internships: Technical University of Denmark, PRO-REGIO Foundation, Polish Academy of Sciences

Research interests include:

• Impact of xenobiotics (herbicides, pharmaceuticals, surfactants) on soil
• Phytotoxicity and microbial biodiversity assessments
• Synthesis of amphiphilic compounds for environmental remediation
• Low-cost sorbents for metal removal from aqueous solutions
• Microplastic interactions with herbicides and antibiotics

Recent publications (2023-2025) highlight her expertise in:

• Photocatalytic cement composites
• Rhamnolipid-assisted metal extraction
• Herbicide transformation into ionic liquids
• Microplastic influence on pollutant bioavailability

Scientific contributions include awards from the Polish Ministry of Science and collaboration on national environmental conferences. She supervises the BioInicatywa scientific club and lectures on organic analysis and biotechnology.
