My research focus on the biogeochemical processes and biological effects of trace organic pollutants (especially for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Organotin compounds(OTs)) in the marine envrionment. Studying on:
(1). The concentration, distribution, transportation and sources of PAHs and OTs in the multiple phases (water, sediment, organisms) of marine coastal environment.
(2). The kinetics of bioaccumulation and transformation of PAHs and organochloranated pesticides in marine food chain.
(3). The ecotoxicological effects of trace organic pollutants (PAHs, OTs) on marine cultural fish.
