Rapid methods for speciation, bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants

This research develops rapid techniques for determining changes in the toxicity and bioavailability of contaminant species caused by ageing, physical and chemical interactions in soil and water.

This will yield:

  • New sensor technologies for contaminant toxicity and bioavailability that will be used for in-situ and ex-situ monitoring and
  • Scientifically based guidelines for ecological and human health risk assessment.
