I am experienced in environmental contamination of air, soils and river sediments related to metal processing activities on several well-known case-study sites such as MetalEurop (Noyelles-Godault, France) and UMICORE (Viviez, France).

 

I currently undertake research projects linking human biomonitoring with mineralogy, geochemistry, exposure (i.e. intake of soils and vegetables) and health risk assessment for a case study targeting a population highly exposed to heavy metals from contaminated soils in Liège, Wallonia. I am also advising the walloon government with respect to health risks assessment to inorganic and organic trace contaminants and responsible for revising soil standards values for the new walloon soil decree.
