Ms. Ababo Workineh Tadesse | Water Treatment | Best Researcher Award

Researcher | Huazhong University of Science and Tecnology | China 

Ms. Ababo Workineh Tadesse is a dedicated researcher in pollution ecology whose work focuses on understanding and mitigating the impacts of emerging environmental pollutants on ecosystems and human health. Her research addresses critical contaminants such as PFAS, POPs, OCPs, PCBs, PBDEs, PAHs, heavy metals, microplastics, and other hazardous substances released through increasing anthropogenic activities. She has extensively investigated the occurrence, distribution, sources, and ecological as well as human health risks of these pollutants within key environmental compartments, including soils, water bodies, sediments, and plants. Her publications in reputable international journals have contributed significant insights into pollutant behavior, risk pathways, and contamination patterns in central China, particularly through studies on organochlorine pesticides, organohalogenated contaminants, and trace elements. Beyond pollutant assessment, she is actively advancing environmentally responsible remediation methods, with current work emphasizing biochar-based treatment for wastewater purification. Her research integrates analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, and risk assessment to generate evidence essential for environmental management and policy decisions. Through her sustained contributions, she supports global efforts to understand pollution threats and develop effective solutions that safeguard ecological and public health, positioning her as a highly impactful and influential researcher in the field of environmental pollution science.
