The team of researchers in this unit is dedicated to the development of analytical methods and advanced technologies to detect, monitor and eliminate chemical and biological contaminants from the environment and industry, focusing on substances of concern such as antibiotics, hormones, viruses and resistance genes. The unit’s objective is to protect human, animal and environmental health, thus promoting the One Health approach, actively collaborating with other disciplines to achieve its objectives.
Hydrogeochemical study of aquifers contaminated by toxic trace elements.
Impact of historical and emerging pollutants in polar areas and their relationship with global warming.
Study of contaminant transport in terrestrial mammals: persistence, bioaccumulation and potential for long-distance propagation.
Development and validation of new sampling techniques for the exchange of organic contaminants.
Development of analytical methods for the study of emerging contaminants.
Wastewater-based epidemiology.
Quantification and elimination of antibiotic resistance genes in waste streams
