David Vanavermaete

Research Associate Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food

David Vanavermaete holds a Master’s degree in Bioscience Engineering with a specialisation in Chemistry and Bioprocess Technology. He earned his PhD in mathematical modelling and statistics from Ghent University. Since 2021, he has been a Scientist at ILVO (Belgium), where he investigates inputs of chemicals from human activities in marine environments. His research focuses on monitoring and assessing primary and secondary contaminants at dredge disposal sites, as well as conducting targeted and untargeted screening of potential chemical leachates from offshore wind farms in the greater North Sea. David co-leads the Interreg Anemoi project on chemical emissions of offshore wind farms. Since 2023, David has also been part of the ICES marine chemistry working group and has played a role in several international projects.

Offshore Foundations: Day 2 - 28/08/2025

9:35 Chemical emissions from offshore wind farms: from compound identification to risk assessment

• A literature study and leaching experiments allowed to identify more than 200

compounds that can be potentially emitted from offshore wind farms

• Organic, inorganic and particulate contaminants were measured on-field by targeted and

untargeted approaches

• Source identification is essential, as most identified compounds can originate from

multiple sources

• Lack of occurrence and detailed toxicity data hamper a full risk assessment
