ECOTOXICOLOGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Innovations and Benefits

Application and development of ecotoxicological techniques,
Genotoxicological, citotoxicological  assessment to evaluate and predict the action of emerging contaminants in various environmental media.
Survey methodologies that involve the use of established and new model organisms at different levels of biological organization and standard and innovative end-points with particular reference to multiple approach in ecotoxicology. Development of synthetic indices of toxicity for representing ecotoxicological state of the environment.

Use

Sustainability of production processes.
Study of toxicity of contaminants in environmental matrices contaminant mixture toxicity.
Definition of the impact of emerging contaminants in increasing levels of biological complexity.
Definition of adverse effects at levels below the limits.
Behavior of contaminants in complex environmental matrices and effects on different levels of the trophic chain Ecotoxicological Risk Prediction.

Applications and ongoing Activities
