During his half year stay at BDS and IVM in Amsterdam he applied a panel of CALUX screening technologies for the POPs fraction of sediments. He presented his interesting study at the DIOXIN 2010 (click here).

A visiting Fellowship was also granted by the Centre for Marine Environmental Studies of Ehime University from Matsuyama in Japan for Dr. Go Suzuki. During his one year stay at BDS and IVM in Amsterdam he applied a panel of CALUX screening technologies for several wildlife animal species of higher trophic levels such as Baikal seal (Phoca sibirica ), Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides ), Common cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) and Finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides ).
