Graduate project
My master thesis project is in collaboration with the research group 'Systemic Physiological and Ecotoxicological Research’ (SPHERE) at the UAntwerpen. The main purpose of this research project is to investigate the bioaccumulation of Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) in marine biota from the North Sea and their potential risk. Furthermore, we investigate the PFASs exposure gradients from the Western Scheldt towards the North Sea.
