TOP Trophodynamics of Organic Pollutants Studied by Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis

Coordinator: Yanbian University (CN)

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and emerging pollutants are of global concern, yet their potential to become biomagnified in the aquatic food webs has not been determined. ‘TOP’ aims to tackle this question by coupling the analyses of pollutants, lipid content, trophic position, and compound-specific stable isotope analyses (CSIA). The objectives are to develop and validate CSIA methods; to refine and apply sampling, extraction and analytical methods to target pollutants in water, sediment and biological samples; to perform field sampling in the UK and China followed by chemical and iso…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €15k awarded to the consortium.
