The Impact of Emerging Contaminants on Mediterranean Biodiversity: From In Vitro Tests to Charismatic Species

On October 28, an event was held at the Pian dei Mantellini educational complex of the University of Siena regarding The Role of UNISI in Activities within Spoke 2 of the NBFC. Study and discussion day among the groups in our department (DSFTA, Physics Earth Environment, University of Siena) involved in Spoke 2 of the NBFC - National Biodiversity Future Center, Activity Zeropollution. The event aims to study and understand the effects of emerging contaminants on marine biodiversity and the potential implications for human health.
