Research interests

Elucidating identity and environmental fate of newly emerging chemicals  (e.g. persistent organics, polar surfactants, drugs of abuse, nanoparticles), and characterising structures of biotic and abiotic (macro) molecules, such as dissolved organic matter, plant biomarkers.
I coordinated the EU-FP6-NEST and industry funded projects PERFORCE-1 and 2,  research projects aimed at the assessment of environmental exposure in Europe to perfluoroalkylated substances.
I was also coordinator of the EU-FP7-Agriculture/Food/Fisheries project PERFOOD that  elucidated sources and extent of human exposure to perfluorinated compounds in food and beverages.

Since 2006 I also hold a position as Principal Scientist at KWR Watercycle Research Institute in Nieuwegein, where the focus of my research is on water quality and health issues related to newly emerging water contaminants, e.g., industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and drugs of abuse.

I have been member-elect and treasurer of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry-SETAC Europe.
I am a former member of the Dutch Soil Protection Committee (TCB)  and a memberof  the Scientific Committe on Health and Environmental Risks (SCHER) of the EC.
