How does it work?
You are welcome to contact us directly for an initial discussion of an ecotoxicological test program or a tailor-made design of the studies.
Key Features
Specialized in ecotoxicological tests with marine species.
Extensive experience with whole effluent toxicity tests of mixed effluents including discharged ballast water and produced water.
Access to fate modelling to calculate Predicted Environmental Concentrations (PEC) used in environmental risk assessment.
