Biography
Marie Markantonis is an environmental microbiologist. Her research interest is dedicated to interdisciplinary studies, dealing with mitigation and remediation of industrial and pesticide pollution in soil, groundwater and plants. Her expertise lies in the establishment of different scale model systems, such as constructed wetlands, micro- and mesocosms, to monitor mitigation processes. She wants to push forward environmental friendly and economical sustainable assessment strategies and measures to mitigate and eliminate man-made environmental pollution, which harm animals and humans when entering the food chain through livestock and food plants. She focused on the analytical and biological assessment and distribution of pesticides, solvents and heavy metals, and their metabolism in the environment and the risk of food ingestion and the associated risks for humans.
