Head of the Organic Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology Section, Dept. Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, SLU (50%)

Current research interests involve the fate and behaviour of organic risk substances in the environment, which includes studies of transport pathways of pesticides in soil and water at different scales. Special emphasis during recent years has been on the catchment scale. Work is carried out in close co-operation with research colleagues specialising in different disciplines relating to environmental aspects of pesticides (e.g. ecotoxicology, modelling, analytical chemistry). Our goal is to obtain the best possible knowledge in this field and to contribute to minimise possible adverse effects while using chemical pesticides within agriculture and other sectors of society.

Co-ordinator of the Swedish national environmental monitoring programme for pesticides (the basis for risk assessment, modelling work, extension services, decision making) by commission of the SEPA

National environmental monitoring of pesticides

The Centre for Chemical Pesticides (CKB) is a partnership forum within the area of chemical pesticides for researchers at SLU and interested parties outside of the university. A strong focus of CKB has  been collaboration with a wide range of different stakeholders in Sweden and to provide science based knowledge regarding pesticides.
