Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gerhard Schertzinger"
- Gerhard Schertzinger's recent research predominantly focuses on the ecotoxicological impacts of plastic degradation and urban wastewater pollutants, leveraging bioassays to assess the toxicity of chemical leachates and transformation products in various environmental settings.
- Key findings indicate that UV degradation of plastics significantly alters the toxicity of leachates, while the photolytic degradation of brominated flame retardants does not show estrogenic or androgenic effects, suggesting a need for ongoing evaluation of these substances under different environmental conditions.
- His work also highlights the accumulation of metals and organic pollutants in sediments downstream from combined sewer overflows, revealing linked ecological risks to aquatic organisms and the need for improved wastewater treatment methods to mitigate these impacts.
