My scientific activity is focused on persistent and emerging organic pollutants, with special emphasis on halogenated and organophosphate flame retardants, chlorinated paraffins, pyrethroid insecticides and apolar pesticides. Research focuses on bioaccumulation and biomagnification in aquatic and terrestrial organisms, as well as human exposure to these pollutants through food and indoor/outdoor. Also, I focus on the impact of plastic pollution. 164 papers (Hirsch Index = 50; 7687 total cites); Co-editor of two books and 30 book chapters; 8 Ph.D. thesis supervised and 3 in progress.
EXPOPLAS
Assessment of human exposure to chemical additives associated with plastics
The general objective of EXPOPLAS is to assess the human exposure to chemical additives associated with plastics and to identify: i) chemical contaminants to which we are most exposed, ii) main routes of exposure, iii) most contaminated food items, the processes and treatments that lead to greater contamination of foodstuff, iv) main sources of inhalable contaminants in indoor and outdoor environments.
