Pollution

My work has been focused on the development of methods for the determination of heavy metals in environmental samples, with special concern on marine organisms and sediment samples by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry and X Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry. Also, I have been working in the design and implementation of programs for monitoring chemical pollutants and to study their bioavailability, transfer pathways and impact on seafood of tropical marine environments. Special emphasis was made on the studies of sediments as sinks of toxic contaminants, as well as the pollutant transfer rates into food chains. A statistical interpretation based on combined datasets including the measured concentration of toxic elements and the stable isotope ratios has been used to assess the bio-magnification in the food chain. All studies have addressed the risk assessment on environmental impact and on human health due to food safety concerns.
