Monika Filipsson

Monika Filipsson is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Biology and Environmental Science, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Linnaeus University. She teaches courses including Introduction to Environmental Science, Environmental Law, and Risk Analysis in Environmentally Hazardous Activities.

• Safety Representative, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
• Research Focus: Risk Analysis, Exposure Assessment, Risk Communication

Her research spans environmental risk assessment of contaminated sites, metal/PAH exposure pathways, and climate change implications. Recent work includes PFAS remediation reviews and metal contamination in historical glassworks areas. Key trends involve probabilistic modeling, public health risks, and stakeholder engagement.

Notable collaborations include studies with researchers such as Åström, Augustsson, Öberg, and Bergbäck. She has contributed to probabilistic risk assessments through QSAR uncertainty characterizations and bioconcentration factor variability analyses.

Monika leads safety initiatives and works from the 3rd floor of Hus Vita, Kalmar. Her work integrates field studies (e.g., Trekanten bathing area, glassworks districts) with theoretical frameworks for risk communication and decision-making.
