WP4: Toxicity and effects

Lead Zhanna Tairova, AU

Objectives

  • Objective 1: To develop and implement effect-based methods of impact assessment.
  • Objective 2: To integrate biological and chemical measurements and dispersal modelling to study environmental levels and effect of substances in marine coastal ecosystems.
  • Objective 3: To test an integrated approach combining advanced chemical screening techniques and mixture toxicity risk assessment.

Deliverables

  • D4.1: Report/article with overview of the historical data available for the area (the South-Eastern Great Belt and Smålandsfarvandet) on biological effects of pollution with hazardous substances [M15].
  • D4.2: Report on biological effects and assessment of impact from point sources for in situ studies [M24] - data available to WP5, data analysed in combination with results from WP2.
  • D4.3: Report from in vitro assays, based on extracts from environmental samples and/or passive samplers [M26].
