Environmental chemist. Science in support of a future free of toxics.

Our first large-scale investigation of organic contaminant distribution in air across Southern Canada with 119 passive sampling sites for 353 organic vapors showing 4 contaminant signatures with common sources and dispersion patterns @ECCCSciTech https://t.co/OngfBO4B13

Happy to present with @KnutBreivik and Lucy Grey (Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services) at a side event of Stockholm Convention POPRC-19 cohosted by Canada & Norway on "Chemical LRET & Local Sources: an Arctic Perspective" @ECCCSciTech

[Environmental Science Journals of the RSC @EnvSciRSC]

Just published in #ESAdvances from @KnutBreivik et al on the added value of the emissions fractions approach when assessing a chemical's potential for adverse effects as a result of long-range transport.

Check out our latest @EnvSciRSC review paper: By 2020, the world has historically synthesized & produced *31 million* tonnes of persistent organic pollutants @POPsChemicals, resulting in total releases of *20 million tonnes* into the global environment https://t.co/h9k2upbA4B

[Knut Breivik @KnutBreivik]

We propose a new approach to long-range transport potential assessment which could reduce the risk of false positives / negatives. Read our policy analysis in @EnvSciTech @WaniaGroup @AcesSthlmUni @NILU_now

Now that we're almost done with all our presentations at #SETACCopenhagen, we celebrated with our first group dinner in more than 2 years! A few alumni and friends joined in as well! 🍻🥂🍻

[Dr. Li Li @ModelerLi]

Our recent @EnvSciTech paper reports that the world has ever produced 33M tonnes of #toxic #Chemicals chlorinated paraffins: 5.2M tonnes already released into the #environment and 13M tonnes still in industrial and consumer products for future releases. https://t.co/nYqrNtgsQk

We're at #SETACCopenhagen this week! Check out the group's poster & platform presentations on partitioning, bioaccumulation, in vitro in vivo extrapolations, and passive air sampling!

It was great pleasure to teach #arcticpollution at @UNISvalbard, Longyearbyen. Good luck preparing for exams :-)
