R. Álvarez-Ruiz

R. Álvarez-Ruiz studies how man-made chemical pollutants—such as pharmaceuticals, PFAS ('forever chemicals'), and other emerging contaminants—move through the environment and accumulate in wildlife like eels and mussels, often examining how microplastics affect this process. Much of the work involves developing and applying advanced laboratory methods (like LC-MS/MS) to detect these pollutants in water, soil, sediment, biosolids, and living tissue. This research is relevant to students interested in environmental chemistry, pollution monitoring, and ecotoxicology.

Publication output peaked around 2018 and has since settled into a lower but steady pace of roughly 2-3 papers per year over the last five years.
