Introduction
After obtaining his high school diploma in 1998, Balázs Berlinger continued his studies at the Faculty of Science (TTK) at the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) and obtained an MSc in chemistry in 2003. In 2003, he began his doctoral studies at the ELTE TTK Doctoral School of Chemistry. He defended his PhD in 2010, when he had already been working at the National Institute of Occupational Health in Oslo for 3 years, where he arrived in 2007 with a half-year scholarship awarded by the Norwegian Research Council.
Until now, he has been primarily active in the field of occupational health and environmental health, regarding the determination of the physical and chemical properties of workplace and environmental aerosols, and the biological monitoring of inorganic compounds. He has extensive experience in the determination of elements in various biological samples: whole blood, serum, urine, animal and human tissues. He worked as an active participant in more than 20 research projects, several times as principal investigator. He has 20 years of experience in the development, optimization and validation of instrumental analytical methods.
Main research areas:
- Examination of the physical and chemical properties of workplace and ambient air
- Biological monitoring of inorganic compounds appearing in workplace and ambient air
- Examination of the effects of air pollution on the cardiovascular system
- Development of atomic spectroscopy methods (single cell ICP-MS)
