Research group: Water, Environmental and Food Chemistry (ENFOCHEM)
Rocío Inés Bonansea is PhD in Chemistry Science by the Faculty of Chemical Science, National University of Córdoba (UNC), Argentina. She currently works as Technical support staff as a member of the Water Environmental and Food Chemistry Team (ENFOCHEM) at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA) that is part of the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Her work is focused on the evaluation of organic micropollutants such as substances for the Watch List under the Water Framework Directive, illicit drugs and other psychoactive substances (including their metabolites) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in drinking water, surface water, groundwater, wastewater and aquatic biota. Previous to this, she worked as an Assistant Professor for 10 years at the Faculty of Chemical Science, UNC, Argentina. She was a Post PhD Student for three years, at the Institute of Health Sciences Research (INICSA) that is part of the National Scientific Research Council of Argentina (CONICET). Her main goal of study was the evaluation of occupational exposure to pesticides as a key factor in chronic low grade inflammation. She did her PhD thesis in analytical and environmental sciences, the research goal was the evaluation of pesticides in a polluted aquatic environment, passageway through different trophic levels and detection by biomarkers use.
OMICHEMAR
New tools for marine environmental monitoring: Omics, ARGs and chemical analysis of emerging and untargeted Contaminants
OMICHEMAR aims to assess the impact of regulated and emerging pollutants and their possible effects in the marine environment, using omics approaches such as the use of meta-genomics and meta-proteomics in environmental matrices such as sediment and biota and cutting-edge analytical approaches such as non-target analysis or the analysis of emerging pollutants such as nanoparticles or the presence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Hence, the results of the project can contribute to a significant improvement in the monitoring of marine ecosystems and transitional waters and to the development of new approaches to be implemented for assessing the environmental quality of coastal ecosystems.

PROMISCES
Preventing Recalcitrant Organic Mobile Industrial chemicalS for Circular Economy in the Soil-sediment-water system
PROMISCES will identify how industrial pollution prevents the deployment of the circular economy in the EU and which strategies help overcome key bottlenecks to deliver the ambitions of the European Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan. Funded as an H2020 project, PROMISCES considers specific circular economy routes including (i) semi-closed water cycles for drinking water supply at urban and catchment scale; (ii) wastewater reuse for irrigation in agriculture; (iii) nutrient recovery from sewage sludge; (iv) material recovery from dredged sediment and (v) land remediation for safe reuse in urban areas.
