About Anna Kärrman

Anna Kärrman is deputy head of School of Science and Technology and associate professor (docent) in environmental chemistry conducting research in the Environment and Health group at MTM Research Centre.

Research

Anna Kärrman’s main research agenda is to unravel the identity of drivers of toxicity by seeking relevant and sensitive methods including non-targeted methodologies. Focus is on analytical chemistry and emerging organic pollutants, their distribution in the environment, sources, and human exposure. Among her research work are studies of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and microplastics. Most of her work is conducted within the Environmental Forensic Laboratory (EnForce), of which she is the deputy manager. Among her external assignments are the Swedish Chemical Society editorial board and The Toxicological Council, the latter an expert group acting as an early warning system for the identification of chemical substances that can be harmful to human health or the environment.
