Tommy Cedervall is a researcher at Lund University, focusing on biochemistry and structural biology, particularly the impact of nanosized materials on the environment. He is affiliated with the Strategic Research Area and contributes to the LTH Profile Area on Aerosols. His research primarily investigates the exposure of freshwater organisms to nanoparticles and the effects on their mortality, metabolic changes, and reproductive ability, especially in relation to harmful nanoplastics in aquatic environments. Cedervall employs polystyrene nanoparticles as model particles to study how consumer plastics break down in nature and to isolate the smallest size fractions for exposure experiments. His work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, specifically addressing issues related to pollution and sustainability through innovative research strategies aimed at degrading microplastics in wastewater treatment plants. Over the past five years, Cedervall has been actively involved in various collaborative research projects, exploring the toxicity and degradation of nanoplastics, and contributing to significant scientific discourse through media participation and public lectures at various events.
