About
Dr. Jung-Hoon Kang is a leading researcher in marine environmental toxicology, with a focused expertise on the ecological impacts of maritime operations and chemical contaminants in coastal ecosystems. His work critically examines the intersection of shipping technology and marine life, particularly the unintended consequences of vessel maintenance practices. Dr. Kang’s most cited study, “Chemical hazard of robotic hull in-water cleaning discharge on coastal embryonic fish” (2023), with 10 citations, pioneers the assessment of toxicological risks posed by in-water cleaning (IWC) discharges. This research reveals how the removal of biofilms and foulants from ship hulls releases harmful chemical contaminants, creating localized “hotspots” that threaten the development of embryonic fish in coastal areas. By quantifying these hazards, Dr. Kang provides essential data for regulatory frameworks and sustainable maritime practices. His contributions are vital for understanding how routine cleaning operations can disrupt marine biodiversity, offering actionable insights for the shipping industry and environmental policymakers. Dr. Kang’s work stands as a critical resource for students and researchers exploring the delicate balance between technological efficiency and ecosystem preservation.
