Topic 2 - Chemical Contaminants: Detection, impact and biodegradation
ubject 3 : Emergent contaminants in the aquatic environments and the health
In Topic 2 our activities focus on the understanding of the fate of emerging and persistent organic micropollutants in the environment and their interaction with organisms inhabiting these environments, both as noxious compounds as well as a source of elements or energy that ultimately will lead to their biodegradation. The theme greatly benefits from the association with the UPVD team and its expertise on the development of (bio)sensors to detection of specific molecules in complex matrices. Currently, different categories of chemical contaminants and matrices are being studied. These include medicines, personal care products, organic pesticides and food toxins
