Midsummer science
I am Jacob, 21 years old, and I just completed 3 semesters of studying Environmental Sciences in Landau. The moment when Mirco Bundschuh offered me to come to Sweden and work on his new and interesting project I knew I want to pause one semester to not miss this opportunity. Packed with 3 cooling boxes filled with frozen leaf material, I flew over to Sweden into my first adventurous internship abroad, which should become an exciting time to keep in mind.
Ecotox Facilities I: Laboratory Stream Microcosm Facility
In this new series of posts we present you some of the equipment and facilities we use to assess the fate and environmental impacts of chemical stressors. We start with the Landau Laboratory Stream Microcosm Facility.
Does the exposure pathway influence fungicides’ toxicity?
In this post, we talk about our recently published paper “Exposure pathway-dependent effects of the fungicide epoxiconazole on a decomposer-detritivore system”.
Sessions (co-)organised by Landau researchers @ SETAC AM in Brussels
In this post, we want to draw your attention to two sessions we are organising for the next SETAC Europe Annual Meeting.
Does the ecotoxicity of nanoparticles depend on the NOM quality of surface waters?
In this post, Frank Seitz reports about their recent paper “Quantity and quality of natural organic matter influence the ecotoxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles”. Continue reading
