1. Chemistry of cementitious materials, especially in use of red mud as building material, and in development of sulfate resistant cements.
2. Radon precursors in local building materials and particularly in setting appropriate limits on these precursors for radiological protection purposes.
3. Atmospheric pollutants in urban atmosphere: occurrence and health effects. (NO₂, SO₂, O₃, volatile organics).
