About Ayan Au Musse
Ayan’s research focuses on hydrophobic organic contaminants, particularly polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC). Her work uses a range of chemical and toxicological approaches to identify the key toxicants in complex mixtures before and after remediation. A central aspect of her research is moving beyond the traditional focus on the 16 US EPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH16) to improve environmental monitoring and risk assessment, supporting Sweden’s goal of achieving a non-toxic environment.
Research areas include:
- Analysis of contaminants in a range of environmental matrices
- Identification of key toxicants before and after remediation
- Chemical characterization using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
- Assessment of contaminant availability using polyoxymethylene (POM) passive sampling
- Toxicological characterization using mechanism-specific cell-based reporter gene assays and model organisms, including earthworms
