معرفی
Michael McLachlan is a Professor at the Department of Environmental Science, Stockholm University, with over 30 years of expertise in environmental contaminant dynamics. His research focuses on understanding the relationship between chemical emissions and human/wildlife exposure through processes like phase partitioning, intercompartmental transport, and bioaccumulation.
- Develops novel analytical methods for environmental monitoring
- Conducts laboratory and field studies on contaminant behavior
- Leads mathematical modeling of chemical fate
- Pioneering work on chemical persistence assessment
Recent publications demonstrate his leadership in improving OECD testing protocols, establishing environmental persistence metrics, and elucidating surfactant bioaccumulation mechanisms. His work provides critical insights for regulatory frameworks like the Stockholm Convention.
Teaching responsibilities include program leadership for the Miljö- och hälsoskydd masters program and courses on contaminant degradation. Active projects focus on optimizing persistence testing and enhancing environmental relevance in biotransformation assessments.
