February 13, 2019
Michael Dzierlenga and colleagues published their quantitative bias analysis of the association between T2DM and PCB-153 in Env. Int. We have contributed to the estimation of PCB exposure.
Study on the association between PCBs and type 2 diabetes published
JGR publishes our study on mercury emissions in the Monte Amiata district
February 3, 2019
Working with Fabrizio Monaci from the University of Siena, we used a network of passive air samplers around the Abbadia San Salvatore mine to create highly spatially resolved maps of mercury concentrations in the atmosphere. Read the paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research.
Paper from Sivani’s Master’s thesis published in ET&C
January 28, 2019
Sivani’s modelling of the variability in the bioaccumulation factor of persistent contaminants in different lake trout populations has been published in Environ. Toxicol. Chem.
Better late than never: Paper on PCBs and PAHs in Western Canadian mountains published
January 16, 2019
Based on field work conducted 12 years ago, Atmos. Environ.: X just published a study where we explore the variability in the concentration of contaminants on mountain slopes in British Columbia. In particular we are interested in the effect of source proximity, cold trapping, and the forest filter effect.
Considering bioenergetics when modelling bioaccumulation in fish
December 12, 2018
Cristina’s paper introducing a fish bioaccumulation model in which the physiological rates (breathing, growth, dietary ingestion) conform to bioenergetic constraints has been published in ES&T earlier today.

Tife, Li and Frank attending the Annual SETAC meeting in Sacramento
November 8, 2018
At the annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry North America, Tife presented her work on benzotriazole UV stabilizers and organophosphate flame retardants in plastic debris. Li gave two talks on his modelling of human exposure.
Melanie and Li presented posters at the ISES-ISEE 2018 Joint Annual Meeting in Ottawa
August 31, 2018
Melanie presented a poster on using passive air samplers for measuring inhalation exposure to gaseous mercury, whereas Li demonstrated how you can incorporate life cycle emission information in chemical screening based on exposure.
