报告人简介：

Dr. Sébastien Sauvé is full professor in Environmental Analytical Chemistry at the Université de Montréal and he is also director of the Institute EDDEC in environment, sustainable development and the circular economy. He has a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from McGill University, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University. He directs a laboratory of about fifteen students and researchers who focus their work partly the analysis, fate and impacts of ‘traditional’ contaminants such as lead, copper, cadmium, and partly on emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, cyanotoxins and nanoparticles. He has published over 170 scientific articles and book chapters.

报告简介：

Dr. Sébastien Sauvé's current research interests and focus are shared between analytical chemistry developments for the measurements of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, perfluorinated compounds and cyanotoxins and work on environmental fate and water treatment. The analytical chemistry work is shared between liquid chromatography and lased diode thermal desorption coupled to mass spectrometry (on a triple quadrupole and on a Q-Exactive - Orbitrap-based instrument). Environmentally relevant method detection limits were obtained for various water samples and solid matrices, falling in the low ng/L range or lower (ng/g for solids). The methods were successfully applied to sewage treatment plants and has allowed the estimation of the removal efficiency of emerging contaminants in WWTPs. Data have also been acquired for antibiotic residues in manure and the associated contamination of nearby waterbodies. Current environmental applications will look not only at analytical methods improvements but also at partitioning of contaminants among dissolved, solids and particulate phases, sorption and desorption onto and from solids, water treatment processes.
