Our group is led by Dr. Javier M. Monserrat with the assistance of Dra. Silvana Basack. Our focus is on organic contaminants -including pesticides, emerging contaminants and plastics (macro, meso, and micro)- in several environmental matrices, such as surface waters (rivers and lakes), horticultural soils, sediments, and living organisms.

We combine analytical chemistry and ecotoxicology in the study of the distribution, the transformation and the environmental effects of these contaminants. Our main goal is to contribute in the scientifical understanding of pollution and the development of new methods for mitigation and improved sustainability.
