THEME 1
DETECTION, MONITORING, MODELING, AND TREATMENT
Thematic Leader: Sébastien Sauvé
The objective of this theme is to develop effective protocols for the detection of endocrine disruptors to enhance their monitoring and the ability to model their levels in the environment. Theme 1 will also focus on the discovery of improved techniques for treating liquid and solid matrices contaminated by endocrine disruptors. Research on the detection and monitoring of endocrine disruptors includes the development of new methods for extracting and purifying these contaminants, quantifying them by new analytical methods, and measuring their harmful effects by cellular or biochemical methods. The development of new geomatic and remote sensing tools that can assess the biological content or effects of large-scale endocrine disruptors is also a research area explored by our researchers. In terms of treatment, research includes the development of physical chemical, electrochemical and biological techniques for treating municipal and industrial wastewater, soils and sediments, industrial residues and urban waste contaminated with endocrine disruptors.
SÉBASTIEN SAUVÉ’S BIOGRAPHY
Sébastien Sauvé is full professor in Environmental Chemistry and outgoing Associate Dean of Research and Creation of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the Université de Montréal. He was academic director of the Institut EDDEC (environment, sustainable development and circular economy). He is also foreign correspondent to the Académie d’Agriculture de France. He has studied at McGill University and Cornell University. He directs a group of about twenty students and researchers that work on a variety of subjects going from contaminated soils, circular economy, blue-green algae, ultratrace analysis using mass spectrometry, as well as the impacts of emerging contaminants on health and the environment. He has been invited to many international conferences and has research partners on all continents. He received the AFCAS Michel-Jurdant Prize in environmental sciences. Pr. Sauvé publishes more than one article per month, in October 2023, his 290 papers and book chapters were cited more than 23 000 times. Fifty-four of his papers have been cited more than 100 times. He has been an invited speaker for more than 125 occasions, in addition to numerous international conferences participations.
