Toxicologists contribute to the implementation and success of the BWM Convention by:
Conducting research to identify and assess potential toxicological risks associated with ballast water discharge. Developing methods for detecting and quantifying toxic substances and organisms in ballast water. Advising on the design and evaluation of ballast water treatment systems to ensure they effectively reduce toxicological risks. Participating in policy development and providing scientific expertise to support regulatory frameworks.
