Dr. A.G.M. van Hattum

Summary

Dr. Bert van Hattum (PhD) is a senior scientist in environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology with more than 25 years of experience, and has been involved in many fields, experimental and modelling studies on chemical fate, bioaccumulation and food chain transfer, within the scope of contract research for government and industry, various EU Framework projects ((HIC-TBT, ACE, Modelkey, DiPol), and PhD projects. Through memberships of professional and network organizations (IAWR, SETAC, SEDNET) he has an extensive network. Recent and current studies include the development of models for the exposure assessment of antifoulants (MAMPEC), field surveys and models for bioavailability and bioaccumulation in freshwater and estuarine food webs, whole effluent testing of industrial effluents with biological and chemical methods, evaluation frameworks for sediment quality assessment, bioavailability of sediment-bound contaminants, and organotins in marine invertebrates and mammals. He has participated in the past in various advisory workshops on exposure assessment and monitoring for the Dutch Government, US-EPA, CEFIC and Eurochlor.
