Patrik Andersson's research focuses on the development of methods for identifying chemicals of concern for environmental and human health. In today's society, various substances are used in products and materials, yet there is often insufficient data on the risks these chemicals pose to humans and the environment. His work primarily employs computational chemistry tools to devise methods for detecting harmful substances while aiming to reduce the number of animal experiments. Andersson's research group is involved in projects that emphasize the development of methodologies for smart substitution, which entails finding ways to replace harmful chemicals in materials and products by integrating data on emissions, exposure, and health effects on the environment. He has initiated collaborations with the car manufacturing industry and leads a significant project focused on reducing emissions from onsite sewage treatment facilities. Additionally, he serves as a board member for Swetox, the Swedish Center for Toxicology.
