MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE STRESSORS ON AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS UNDER WATER SCARCITY (GLOBAQUA)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Water and water-related services are major components of the human wellbeing, and as such are major factors of socio-economic development in Europe; yet freshwater systems are under threat by a variety of stressors (organic and inorganic pollution, geomorphological alterations, land cover change, water abstraction, invasive species and pathogens. Some stressors, such as water scarcity, can be a st ...

Real time monitoring of SEA contaminants by an autonomous Lab-on-a-chip biosensor (SEA-on-a-CHIP)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,
Early warning systems that can provide extreme sensitivity with exquisite selectivity are required to assess chemical contamination of estuarine and coastal areas. SEA-on-a-CHIP aims to develop a miniaturized, autonomous, remote and flexible immuno-sensor platform based on a fully integrated array of micro/nano-electrodes and a microfluidic system in a lab-on-a-chip configuration combined with ele ...

Priority environmental contaminants in seafood: safety assessment, impact and public perception (ECSAFESEAFOOD)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017,
Seafood has been recognized as a high quality, healthy and safe food item. Yet, some seafood can accumulate environmental contaminants with potential impact on human health. Limited information is available for those without maximum limits set by authorities for seafood, like priority contaminants, biotoxins from harmful algal blooms and marine litter. In order to increase seafood safety to consum ...

Pesticides: Felicity or curse for the soil microbial community? (LOVE-TO-HATE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
"Pesticides still constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. Upon their release, pesticides interact with soil microbes in contrasting ways. On the one hand they stimulate microbial activity and proliferation of a specific fraction of the microbial community which could utilize them as energy source resulting in their rapid biodegradation and loss of biological efficacy. On the other hand ...

The FUture of FUlly integrated human exposure assessment of chemicals: Ensuring the long-term viability and technology transfer of the EU-FUNded 2-FUN tools as standardised solution (4FUN)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,
The assessment of risks to human health from chemicals is of major concern for policy and industry and ultimately benefits all citizens. In this process, exposure assessment is generally considered to be the weakest point, as currently available tools show major flaws:(a) lack of integrated approach for assessment of combined stressors (i.e. a number of potential pollutants);(b) widespread use of ...

Life Cycle perspective for Low Impact Winemaking and Application in EU of Eco-innovative Technologies (ECO-PROWINE)
Date du début: 3 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 2 sept. 2015,
The proposed solution lies on getting user friendly LCA-LCC methodology specialized for the wine chain production. Thereby it is to make available a simplified LCA-LCC on-line available tool that enables wine makers (not expert in LCA methodology) to perform a self-assessment of its wine making process, in order to detect environmental charges, impacts and costs, for each process stage. Afterwards ...
