Andreas Mattern

Dr. Andreas Mattern is a Researcher in the Ecotoxicology Department at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany. His work focuses on the ecotoxicological effects of anthropogenic particles, including engineered nanomaterials, nano- and microplastics, and combustion-derived particles, with an emphasis on interactions between environmental organisms and these materials, such as adhesion, uptake, and distribution. He also leads science communication efforts via the platform www.nanoobjects.info, aiming to convey risks and safety information about environmental particles to society.
