The Centre brings its areas of expertise from various fields of ecotoxicology into scientific projects. Some work is performed in the Centre’s laboratory, some is commissioned to external partners, and the research work is coordinated and then evaluated.

Aquatic Ecotoxicology

Aquatic organisms often react very sensitive to pollutants and can be used to assess water quality.
