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.
