Research interests focus on: a) studying the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols, especially PM2.5 and finer fractions; b) assessment of the proportion and spatial variability of secondary organic and inorganic aerosols; (c) changes in the atmosphere between the secondary aerosol and gaseous precursors, including the assessment of ammonia content; d) identification of factors influencing the concentration and chemical composition of the atmospheric aerosol (meteorological parameters, gaseous pollutants); e) determining the sources of particulate matter, including with the use of receptor models; f) assessing the role of long-haul transport and local sources; g) examination of the specificity of episodes of increased concentration of particulate matter; h) use of automatic equipment in air quality monitoring; and i) preparation of documentation necessary to obtain a decision on environmental conditions, in the scope related to the impact of projects on air quality.

From the beginning of my professional work (2007) I deal with the subject of atmospheric aerosol properties.
My research activity concerns three main issues:
The main area of my research activity covers the phenomena and changes taking place in indoor suspended dust (PM).
As part of the research of non-production rooms, I determine, among others, the concentration of various dust fractions, particle size distribution, optical parameters and chemical composition of total and respirable dust collected in parallel inside and outside selected objects. These research elements can be considered unique in Poland and even in Central and Eastern Europe. The value of these data also lies in the possibility of their future use in the study of the impact of fine dust on the health of the population, including groups of employees of selected service sector plants, not only in Poland, but also in the world.

Interests dr inż. Kamili Widziewicz-Rzońcy focuses on determining the causal factors and the impact of air pollution on public health by combining the science of air pollution, toxicology and epidemiology. The research group with which Dr. Eng. Widziewicz-Rzońca is one of the country's leaders in the field of information and research on the impact of air quality on health. The research results obtained in cooperation with the Institute of Air Protection of the Institute of Physical Education of the Polish Academy of Sciences constitute an overview of the evidence regarding potential health hazards related to air quality both in Poland and in Europe. The research of Dr. Widziewicz-Rzońca focused mainly on the toxicity of metals and organic compounds that are components of PM, as well as gas emissions from combustion engines, dust and smoke emissions from grill fuels and the identification of health markers of exposure (including carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic). In recent years, Dr. Widziewicz-Rzońca led two research projects aimed at: 1) determining the content of water in PM as a marker of its origin and changes in the atmosphere, and 2) determining the uncertainty in aerosol mass measurements due to the presence of atmospheric water.
The main areas of interest are:
