I am biologist, my research group is Ecology and Biodiversity of Aquatic systems. I started the research line focused on ecotoxicology in 2000. Much of my work is concerned the study of the toxic effects of agrochemicals on aquatic organisms and other emerging pollutants. Some of my studies have defined new biomarkers of exposure and effect used to detect and quantify the toxicity of commonly used agrochemical. I am leading a project aims to pilote NBS to reduce pharmacological pollution in wastewater and saving water quantity under future climate change scenarios. --Bohorquez, P., Pérez-Latorre, F.

Project focuses in the zero pollution strategy, emerging contaminants and the use of NBS for solving it and getting improved water quality and quantity, and how society needs to learn and support those strategies. Specific themes: extreme climate events, droughts, circular economy , science citizenship,
