Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
Plastic pollution: new driver altering responses to variable environments
Purpose:
This project aims to determine how bisphenol A (BPA), which now represents a novel environmental driver, alters physiological responses of animals, and how it interacts with other environmental variables to alter ecological and evolutionary trajectories. Plastic pollution is a monumental global environmental and health problem, and Australia has one of the world’s highest exposures to BPA, a plastics leachate. This project will use a new zebrafish gene knock-out model to show whether the effects of BPA are transferred between generations, and will establish an international collaboration, thereby increasing Australia's research capacity. Outcomes from the project are expected to benefit environmental management.
