- Additional information
- The output was a comprehensive study of the distribution of a range of organic contaminants across rivers in the South of England. Previous researchers have typically limited their analysis to occurrence in dissolved river water but this study extended this to include other matrices such as aquatic sediment, periphyton, plants and Potamogeton as well as amphipod crustaceans which gives a much clearer picture to governments, environment agencies and other decision makers. The paper highlighted a novel standardised method for extracting organic contaminants from 6 solid matrices and discussed the biotransformation of emerging contaminants in lower trophic level organisms.
