- Proposes a novel method for the quantification of a range of contaminants (pharmaceuticals, illicit drug metabolites, perfluorinated compounds and plasticisers) in freshwaters, wastewater and runoff. This is significant because most methods tend to be contaminant group (e.g. antibiotics) or sample type specific. This method is of potential wider application, as we demonstrated its successful application in determining different group contaminants in sediments, aquatic plants and benthic organisms (Wilkinson et al. 2018, Environmental Pollution). The method is increasingly being recognised globally including Stanford, UC Berkeley (Spahr et al., Environmental Science-Water Research & Technology 2020) and NUS (Wang et al., Chemosphere 2019).
