The effects of metal mixtures have rarely been addressed by regulatory agencies, and to address this issue, my PhD studies will determine the interaction and effects of the combination of three rare earth elements (Gd, La, Y) at realistic concentrations. Using two innovative approaches developed in our laboratory (e.g., subcellular metal partitioning approach; hyphenated techniques), my research will use aquatic organisms (Chironomus riparius, Hyalella azteca) extensively used as biomonitors for toxicological studies.
