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.

APAN
Impact of agricultural activities on the National Park fauna
The objective of the project is the study of the environmental impact due to the agricultural activities that are carried out in Doñana and Tablas de Daimiel National Parks. Specifically, it will assess the impact of pesticides on birds dwelling in these parks.

SEAFOODTOMORROW
Nutritious, safe and sustainable seafood for consumers of tomorrow (SEAFOODTOMORROW) (H2020-Project ID: 773400).
The global demand for food (including seafood) is expected to double by 2050, creating a need for seafood products that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. SEAFOODTOMORROW is developing new environmentally-friendly and transparent seafood production and processing methods that will improve European seafood security

INTERWASTE
International research into the environmental fate and behaviour of toxic organic chemicals in waste waters
The overall vision of INTERWASTE is to develop scientific understanding of issues related to environmental contamination with toxic and/or hazardous organic chemicals (specifically flame retardants and pharmaceutical and personal care products arising from their presence in the waste stream.

BECAS
Development of analytical methodologies for determination of pesticides in water and soils
Pollution of agricultural origin is considered the most important cause of deterioration of water bodies in our planet. In this context, the main objective of this project is to develop the necessary analytical methodologies for evaluating various strategies for degradation of these compounds with different organisms and in different real situations.
