Huahong Shi
Professor
Huahong is an aquatic ecotoxicologist studying microplastic pollution in marine environment and endocrine disrupting chemicals in aquatic organisms. He has ever studied imposex in snails, thyroid disrupting effects of chemicals on amphibian and teratogenicity of chemicals to veratebrate embryos. In recent 4 years, Huahong is foucusing on studing microplastic pollution in different organisms including mussels, clams, snails and fish from the field. He also conducts some lab exposure experiments to study the toxicological effects of microplastics on organisms. Huahong’s team has successfully got three national funds on microplastic research and published 8 peer-reviewed papers in this aspect. Huahong is very happy to cooperate with the international peers who are interested in microplastic research.
