Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Francis Vanryckeghem"
- Francis Vanryckeghem's research primarily focuses on the assessment and monitoring of contaminants of emerging concern in marine environments, utilizing innovative sampling techniques and analytical methods to study their effects on aquatic organisms.
- Significant findings include the development of a Simple Teabag Equilibrium Passive Sampler, which effectively captures a range of contaminants, and evidence of acute and chronic toxicity of neonicotinoid insecticides on sensitive marine copepod species.
- Vanryckeghem's work also highlights the importance of establishing environmental quality standards through effect-based monitoring of chemical mixtures, revealing that some contaminants may even stimulate growth in marine diatoms, challenging traditional toxicity assessments.
