Ian Cousins trained as an environmental chemist at Lancaster University (Ph.D.) and is now an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Environmental Science (ITM) at Stockholm University in Sweden. His research program comprises a combination of experimental and modelling approaches to investigate the sources, transport, fate and exposure of organic pollutants, including perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The two coauthors of this critical review article are Ph.D. students in Ian's research group. |
Deguo Kong is a Ph.D. student at ITM. His main research interest is investigating the sources, environmental dynamics and fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Arctic region. The tools used in his research are fugacity-based multimedia models which can be combined with field data to provide insights into the environmental distribution and levels of various POPs, including long-chain perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs). |
Robin Vestergren is a Ph.D. student at ITM. His research focuses on elucidating the pathways of human exposure to long-chain perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) employing a combining measurement and modelling techniques. He is currently developing analytical methods to measure PFAAs at low concentrations in a variety of food matrices. |
