Air, waters and soils has being in increased levels contaminated with various metals, inorganic or organic compounds (partly products of human activity). To secure the normal processes in the living (plant or animal) cells, it is necessary to realize transport of various inorganic and organic compounds (nutrients, etc.), across the cell membrane into or out of the cells or various sub-cellular structures. Not only the useful and usual metabolic compounds are transported into the cells, across the membranes; however, the above mentioned undesired ions, compounds and particles, which are connected with pollution of human environment, are participated in the transporting processes. They are based on many principles, which we intend to study using electrochemical methods (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, voltammetry, conductometry, patch-clamp techniques etc.).
