This project evaluates the use of temperature correction factors to predict how micropollutants degrade in natural environments. It combines biotransformation assays and microbiological techniques to understand how temperature affects microbial communities and their degradation capabilities.
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the validity of using temperature correction factors (e.g. Q10) to predict the rates of micropollutant biodegradation in natural communities.
The Q10 correction factor is based on the Arrhenius equation, which gives degradation kinetic rate constants as a function of temperature, and it is widely adopted in modelling (such as numerical fate models) in environmental exposure assessments.
Despite its popularity, the Q10 approach is still the object…
