Environmental (and human health) risk approach as an integrated framework to study the occurrence and effects of microplastics in the marine environment - Ecologiclas aspect of microplastics Ghent University
GHentToxLab - UGent has proven and internationally recognized expertise in the field of microplastic detection and monitoring and in the evaluation of the uptake and (adverse) effects of these particles in biota. It also has long-standing and extensive research and regulatory expertise/experience in the area of environmental risk assessment of chemicals and other contaminants. The publication record of GhentToxLab is available on ...
Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment: chemical trace analysis, environmental behaviour and ecological effects Ghent University
Pharmaceuticals are internationally considered as emerging environmental micorpollutants. This project aims at gaining innovative insights into the environmental partitioning and ecotoxicological effects of the studied pharmaceuticals. Therefore, innovative chemical analytical methods will be developed, optimized and validated to measure trace concentration levels of selected pharmaceuticals in aqueous and solid environmental matrices.
