Project "ONE-BLUE" (Horizon Europe) Promotion Video
"ONE-BLUE" strives to provide innovative solutions to support the implementation of relevant EU policies. This includes the development of new approach methodologies (NAMs) for enhanced ecotoxicity assessment of Contaminats of Emerging Concern (CECs) in marine ecosystems. The project's outcomes also include a tier effect-based approach incorporating effect-directed analysis (EDA), an advanced ultrasonic system for sampling and enriching micro/nanoplastics from seawater, and a remote autonomous sensor for quasi-real-time assessment of CECs in marine waters. Furthermore, a decision support system (DSS) based on machine learning and deep learning strategies will be introduced to assess and forecast the combined effects of climate change and CECs in marine ecosystems.
