Research

Analysis of heavy metals by  in atomic absorption spectroscopy, in marine organisms of particular interest, to establish the level of contamination, the distribution in the various tissues and accumulation of these pollutants as a function of the length of the examined specimens and also in function of the species considered. 

Development of extraction techniques and analysis of organochlorine compounds and dioxins by gas chromatography and GC-MS, in particular fish species of commercial interest, as well as significant food consumption. 

Development of extraction techniques and analysis of dyes used fraudulently in food by GC-MS. 

Development of extraction techniques and mycotoxin analysis by HPLC-FL, in other food products (milk, feed, grain, etc.). 

Development of extraction techniques and analysis of organometallic compounds of mercury, using gas chromatography and GC-MS, in marine organisms.
