Agneta Runkel

Agneta Runkel is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Associate Researcher at the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Lund University, Sweden. Her work bridges environmental science, biogeography, and human health, focusing on exposure assessment to organic contaminants like phthalates, bisphenols, POPs, and PFAS.

• Active in international collaborations (Slovenia, Sweden, Costa Rica)
• Principal Investigator for the LIPHES: Lipidomics in the Placenta after High Exposure to PFAS project

Her research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for environmental and occupational health. Key methodologies include targeted exposomics and analytical chemistry to quantify pollutants and identify exposure determinants.

Research trends span environmental toxicology, epigenetic modifications, maternal-fetal health, and climate change interactions. Publications emphasize biomonitoring of emerging contaminants and their health consequences, particularly in occupational settings.

Current projects address the health impacts of unregulated industrial chemicals through multidisciplinary approaches combining analytical chemistry, epidemiology, and epigenetics.
