Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works on analytical chemistry methods for detecting and measuring pollutants such as pesticides (including pyrethroids and pyrethrins), pharmaceuticals, and microplastics in environmental samples like river water, tap water, and soil. Much of the work involves developing or comparing laboratory techniques (e.g., chromatography and mass spectrometry methods) and assessing environmental contamination and risk in water basins such as the Ebro and Turia Rivers in Spain. The research combines method development with environmental monitoring and risk assessment.
