Victor Carrasco NavarroDr. Victor Carrasco Navarro conducted MSc studies in Chemistry Sciences at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain between 1994 and 2001. In 2007, he moved to the University of Eastern Finland in Joensuu to perform his PhD, which he obtained in 203. His thesis dealt with the bioaccumulation, biotransformation and trophic transfer of PAHs in freshwater organisms. As a post-doc, he has been working in projects related to the ecotoxicity of neonicotinoids and microplastics and recently has obtained significant funding to research about the fate of plastic additives in the freshwater environment. His research interests are the fate of chemicals and anthropogenic litter in the environment, including their distribution, potential degradation, and transformation. The impacts that tire rubber pollution may have caused to the environment is a subject very important in his research interests. Currently, he is collaborating with research institutions in Spain, US, UK and India. Read More Read Less
