IEESC’s proposal entitled “The biotoxicity mechanism of PPCPs on living Micrasterias hardyi cells” was recently awarded beam time at the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon through a competitive peer review process. On January 23, 2015, Dr. Peng Zhang, Mr. Jinxin Zhu, Ms. Xiaying Xin, Ms.Xiujuan Chen and Ms.Wang Lin used the Mid-IR beamline for high resolution chemical mapping of living algae to study the biotoxicity of PPCPs on living aquatic and terrestrial organisms and wildlife.
