Veronika Rippelová, Ph.D.

 
 
 

She graduated with a Master's degree from the Faculty of Environmental Technology at UCT Prague in 2008, where she also completed her doctoral studies in Environmental Chemistry and Technology in 2019. She has been with the Department of Environmental Chemistry since 2008, currently serving as an Assistant Professor. 
Her research focuses on the environmental analysis of organic contaminants, specializing in gas chromatography techniques (e.g., TD-GC/MS). Her primary research interests include the study of sorption and the fate of chemical pollutants in geological environments, as well as the assessment of their impact on human health and ecosystems. Currently, she is intensively involved in the study of tire wear particles (TWP) and the emission of toxic substances released from them into the environment, such as 6PPD-quinone.
She is also the guarantor of the course Environmental Protection within the University of the Third Age programme and serves as the coordinator of the Student Scientific Conference at the Department of Environmental Chemistry. Since 2022, she has been a member of the Executive Committee of Eurachem-CZ.
