Connecting Bioavailability and Biodegradation: A Pathway to Sustainable Pollution Removal

Our research explores the intricate relationship between bioavailability and biodegradation of organic pollutants, seeking innovative solutions for environmental remediation. By understanding how pollutants interact with soil ecosystems and microorganisms, we develop science-based strategies that harness natural degradation processes to effectively remove contaminants from our environment.

Recent Research Highlights

We recently shared our latest findings in a seminar at McGill University (Montreal, Canada). You can watch the presentation below.

CSIC also conducted a divulgation interview in Spanish during the 34th SETAC Europe Annual Meeting held in Seville, exploring the evolving landscape of chemical contamination, bioavailability, and environmental risk assessment. Read the interview here.

In November 2025, our research was featured in the science divulgation programme Luciérnagas, where we discussed ‘Environmental Toxicology: How Much Pollution Can the Earth Sustain?’; on radio in Spanish (mins. 16–51).
