RESEARCH SUMMARY:
Her work focuses on the development of DGT passive sampler for the assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water using CALUX as detection method. Considering the low concentration of PAHs (ng/L) in aquatic systems, the major goal of this study is to develop and validate a novel long-term monitoring tool for measuring PAHs and residues in aquatic systems. The passive sampling combined with the use of CALUX for detection represented a promising approach for this purpose, and the results will be compared with conventional techniques.
