Short description of research profile

The research projects have been focused on: endocrine disruptive chemicals (bisphenol A, 4-tert-octylphenol, 4- nonylphenol); mercury and methylmercury; toxic metals; iron speciation; nutrients; carbon (inorganic and organic forms, black carbon, dissolved and suspended forms); methane; microplastic; photodegradation processes. Our field of studies  are: atmosphere (gaseous substances and particulate matter), water (including microlayer), suspended particulate matter, plankton, fish, benthos, marine mammals, marine birds, sediments (including porewater).
