He has carried out more than 30 EU projects within these topics. Prof. Pacyna has also been active in the implementation of environmental strategies and policies defined within international agreements on emission and flux reductions, including cost-benefit analysis of this implementation. He provided a scientific justification for the establishment of an UN Convention on reduction of mercury contamination, signed in Minamata in 2013.
