Lars Michael Skjolding

Lars Michael Skjolding serves as a Senior Researcher in the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on ecotoxicological impacts of industrial discharges, chemicals, and emerging contaminants including advanced materials and nanoparticles. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through his environmental chemistry research.

Skjolding's primary research interests encompass Environmental Chemistry, Nanoparticles, Bioaccumulation, and Ecotoxicology, with particular expertise in assessing environmental impacts of emerging contaminants. His work spans both marine and freshwater ecosystems, addressing critical challenges in chemical safety and environmental regulation. The research involves adapting current standards to adequately assess environmental impacts while developing tools for sustainable development and use of chemicals.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on nanomaterials toxicity, environmental risk assessment of industrial chemicals, and sustainable materials development. His work frequently examines interactions between contaminants and biological systems, with particular attention to Daphnia magna and other model organisms. The research integrates laboratory testing with regulatory science to bridge the gap between scientific findings and practical environmental management.

Skjolding actively supervises PhD students and leads multiple research projects addressing critical environmental challenges. He serves as Main Supervisor for two active PhD projects: 'Ecotoxicological effects of chemicals used in offshore wind turbines' (2025-2028) and 'Ecotoxicological testing and screening of advanced agrichemicals for stakeholders with regulatory purpose and needs' (2024-2027). He has also supervised several completed projects related to environmental regulation of nanomaterials and produced water impacts.

His research fingerprint shows strong expertise in Nanoparticle research (100%), Ecotoxicity (92%), Nanomaterials (78%), Daphnia magna studies (74%), Zebra Fish research (45%), Silver Nanoparticles (39%), Produced Water analysis (39%), and Bioaccumulation mechanisms (34%). This multidisciplinary approach positions him at the intersection of environmental science, toxicology, and regulatory science.
