First-year student in the Graduate School of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. I study chemical substances in landfill leachate, focusing on endocrine-disrupting chemicals and their environmental impacts. My research in Southeast Asia detected nonylphenol and BPA, earning the SETAC JAPAN Outstanding Presentation Award 2025. I enjoy using chemical analysis to contribute to environmental conservation.

研究概要: 東南アジアの廃棄物埋立処分場における浸出水を分析し、内分泌かく乱作用を持つノニルフェノールやビスフェノールA(BPA)が検出されました。特にBPAは高濃度で検出され、その分布からポリカーボネート樹脂の分解が主な発生源であることが示唆されました。これらの成果が評価され、2025年 優秀発表賞 SETAC JAPAN AWARD を受賞しました。
Research Theme: “Assessment of Phenolic Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals in Leachate from Landfills in Southeast Asia”
Research Summary: Chemical analyses of leachate from landfill sites in Southeast Asia revealed the presence of nonylphenol and bisphenol A (BPA), both known endocrine-disrupting chemicals. BPA was detected at particularly high concentrations, suggesting that degradation of polycarbonate materials is a major source. These findings contributed to the recognition of the study and earned the 2025 SETAC JAPAN Outstanding Presentation Award.
