Investigating the carcinogenic and epigenetic modulating effects of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances in breast cancer development Jan 1, 2024 - Dec 31, 2026
PFASs are used in numerous commercial and industrial applications. Subsequently, they are ubiquitously found in the environment and have been identified in human blood, breast milk and gut. They are endocrine disrupting chemicals which have been repo...

A Pioneering, Near-Zero-Carbon and All-Climate-Adaptive Air Conditioning System Using Atmospheric Latent Heat and Natural Light Energy Sep 1, 2023 - Feb 28, 2027
The proposed research aims to establish a scientific foundation for a pioneering, near-zero-carbon and all-climate-adaptive air conditioning system (NZC-CA-AC). This unique system, by maximising the use of atmospheric latent heat and natural light en...

Microplastics: Exploring the Role of Microplastics in Lung Disease. Jan 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2023

Development of the first global standard for airborne microplastic monitoring Nov 1, 2022 - Oct 31, 2023
Microplastics, of the size range 1 m to 2 mm, are ubiquitous in the environment, taken up by organisms, including humans, and accordingly are now categorised as a contaminant of emerging concern. It is well established that loess particles, charcoal... Read More about Development of the first global standard for airborne microplastic monitoring.

Analytical techniques to isolate and characterize microplastics from environmental and biological samples Jan 1, 2020 - Dec 31, 2021
Workshop, hosted by ECNU, China on microplastics techniques

Molecular and functional characterisation of endocrine disruption in marine invertebrates Feb 5, 2018 - Sep 30, 2021
LAY: Household products, including toothpaste, soaps, and common drugs, may be putting inland waterways and coastal environments under threat. Chemicals found in some personal care products and pharmaceuticals are accumulating in rivers, canals and e...

Interreg - Sullied Sediments Jan 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2020
Our inland waterway ecosystems provide a circulatory system for both our urban and rural communities: a transport system bringing goods and removing waste; while in parallel also providing ‘oxygen’ promoting health of the wildlife and humans, whether... Read More about Interreg - Sullied Sediments.
