This operation concerns the three-year funding of a doctoral student position for the realisation of a thesis entitled “ImSPéCT — Health and environmental impact of the presence of cyanobacteria in the Thau basin”. The operation will take place within the University of Nîmes, in the CHROME research team. The Thau Basin is characterised by a significant presence of environmental contaminants, with a significant impact on the local economy and public health. Some environmental contaminants can lead to the onset and development of neurodegenerative diseases. The ImSPéCT thesis aims to carry out an environmental and health risk assessment of the Thau basin, while working on recommendations to remedy the current situation.
