The project will bring together Brazilian and UK expertise in ecotoxicology. The focus of the workplan is on characterising physiological and biomarker responses of temperate and tropical chironomid species to emerging chemical/particulate pollutants. The partnership has been formed between groups with a common interest in understanding the mechanisms of action and links to higher organisation level effects of chemicals using physiological and molecular tools. This innovations are developed with a view to improving the risk assessment and monitoring of emerging chemical pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, Initial exchanges have identified common research themes in developing stress response assays for invertebrate species. Initial contact by email and extended discussion has resulted in the development of a workplan focussed on this theme.

该项目将汇集巴西和英国在生态毒理学方面的专业知识。工作计划的重点是确定温带和热带摇蚊物种对新出现的化学/颗粒污染物的生理和生物标志物反应的特征。该伙伴关系是在具有共同兴趣的团体之间形成的，这些团体对使用生理和分子工具理解化学品的作用机制以及与更高组织水平影响的联系感兴趣。这种创新的发展，以改善风险评估和监测新出现的化学污染物在淡水生态系统中，初步交流已确定共同的研究主题，在开发压力反应分析无脊椎动物物种。通过电子邮件进行的初步接触和广泛的讨论导致制定了一项侧重于这一主题的工作计划。
