My research focuses on identifying effective measures to reduce chemical pollution of the Baltic Sea

Tens of thousands of chemicals are used daily in society. Many of them are eventually transported to the Baltic Sea, and some of them have undesirable effects on the ecosystem. It is a great challenge to identify and phase out the substances that have a significant negative environmental impact.

I am a civil engineer and have a PhD in environmental science. My research focuses on how chemicals are transported in the environment and accumulate in the food webs depending on their inherent properties, environmental conditions and chemical emission patterns, and how this knowledge can be used to develop and prioritize measures to reduce chemical pollution of the Baltic Sea.
