Water and sediment environmental quality laboratories

• Life & Medical Sciences

Infrastructures specialised in physical-chemical, microbiological and toxicological analysis of marine and coastal samples.

Water and Sediment Laboratory

Equipped to perform physical-chemical and microbiological analyses and toxicity tests to assess the environmental quality of water and sediments in marine and estuarine environments. It provides data for environmental analysis, ecosystem management and regulatory compliance.

Oceanography Laboratory

Focused on sedimentology and marine eco-toxicology. This studies key physical and chemical parameters to understand oceanographic processes and the ecological state of the environment.
