Yann Aminot

Yann Aminot is a Researcher at IFREMER's Centre for Chemistry and Ecotoxicology (CCEM), specializing in marine environmental contaminants. His work spans emerging pollutants like PFAS, organophosphate esters, and halogenated compounds, utilizing advanced analytical methods for detection and risk assessment.

Research Focus: His studies cover spatial/temporal pollutant distribution in marine ecosystems (e.g., bivalves, dolphins, fish), biomonitoring techniques, and ecological impacts. Key interests include:

• PFAS dynamics in coastal environments
• Organophosphate ester contamination
• Halogenated compound screening
• Marine ecotoxicology and pollution trends

Publications: Recent articles (2021-2025) emphasize contaminant distribution in European and West African marine systems, analytical method development, and ecotoxicological risk assessments. Trends show a strong focus on high-resolution mass spectrometry and non-target screening.

Projects & Collaborations: He co-leads national initiatives (VEILLE-POP, SELILOIRE) and contributes to multinational studies on marine contaminants. Collaborations include researchers from Spain, the UK, and West Africa.

Lab & Resources: He operates within IFREMER's CCEM lab (CCEM Website), which focuses on chemical contamination in marine environments.
