Background/ Research activities
Associate professor at the Medical University of Gdańsk and Acting Head of the Department of Environmental Toxicology. Specialist in the field of environmental health and the head of the environmental health studies program. My research focus on food toxicology, ecotoxicology and the impact of changes in the environment on human health. I pay particular attention to health risks resulting from exposure to new emerging contaminants (e.g. pesticides and endocrine active substances). I actively participate in activities for public space, including the adaptation of cities to climate change and improving the quality of life of residents. Member of the Polish Society of Environmental Medicine, Polish Chemical Society, Polish Society of Toxicology and Gdańsk Scientific Society.

The Division of Environmental Toxicology performs laboratory and field studies related to the chemistry and environmental ecotoxicology of various inorganic and organic pollutants in outdoor and indoor air, water, sediments, soil, and their impact on ecosystem and human health. Understanding the processes involved in the interaction of pollutants with the environment is essential in prevention, reduction and mitigation of their human and ecotoxicological impact. In our studies we use a combination of analytical methods (GC-MS, GC-MS-MS, HPLC, LC-MS-MS), bioassays (YES-YAS, ELISA, etc.), ecotoxicological tests (Microtox) and chamber techniques. We also educate students and young scientists in the field of environmental chemistry and health assessment.
