About
Dr. Sulah Lee is an environmental toxicologist whose research focuses on the ecotoxicological effects of emerging contaminants, particularly antifouling biocides, on aquatic photosynthetic organisms. Her most cited work investigates the single and interactive effects of the herbicides diuron and Irgarol 1051 on the marine cyanobacterium *Arthrospira maxima*, revealing synergistic toxicity that disrupts photosynthesis at environmentally relevant concentrations. This study, published in 2013 with 21 citations, provides critical insights into the risks posed by booster biocides to primary producers in marine ecosystems. Dr. Lee’s contributions advance our understanding of how chemical mixtures impact non-target species, informing regulatory frameworks for coastal pollution management. Her work is notable for bridging mechanistic toxicology with ecological risk assessment, highlighting the vulnerability of cyanobacteria—key players in marine nutrient cycles—to anthropogenic stressors. By demonstrating that even low-level herbicide combinations can impair photosynthetic efficiency, Dr. Lee underscores the need for stricter monitoring of antifouling agents in marine environments. Her research remains a valuable reference for scientists studying the cumulative effects of pollutants on aquatic food webs.
