Objective
This proposal aims to support the collaboration of world-class researchers to study endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), with the broad aim of supporting the development of dynamic world-class human resources in the European research system. The proposal consists of a scientific project and scientific and complimentary training. The scientific project aims to develop a polar organic pollutant integrative sampler (POPIS) for assessing the bioavailability of polar EDCs in fish. The specific objectives are: - To develop a novel POPIS device suitable for concentrating polar and most potent EDCs. - To refine and apply sampling and analytical methods to target EDCs in water and sewage samples. - To perform laboratory experiments to determine the relationship between the levels of EDCs in POPIS and those in water, sediment and fish under controlled conditions. - To conduct site trials to assess the performance of POPIS in simulating bioaccumulation of EDCs in fish. - To develop and validate a multi-compartment model for simulating and predicting POPIS performance. The fellow will receive scientific training to acquire further practical skills in environmental investigations and data analysis; to design, conduct and report on cutting edge research on EDCs; and to strengthen collaboration with European scientists. Complementary training will involve the fellow learning and practising transferable skills. The proposal objectives will be achieved through careful planning and management of the fellowship. The propo sed scientific project is timely and appropriate methodology has been established. Novel and state-of-the-art techniques will be used. The supervisors and the fellow have relevant expertises. Regular progress meetings will be held to ensure progress. The fellow is expected to become an independent researcher by the end of this fellowship.
