Our research

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Our research focuses on environmental pollution by hazardous substances, e.g. biocides, pesticides, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and impacts of pollutants on ecosystems and human health. Encouraged by our research findings having an impact on environmental decision-making and policy on environmental quality, climate change and human health, we see impacts to society, community participation in science and links between environmental behaviour and public perception as research areas increasingly associated with our work. For example the concept of public participation in collection of useful environmental quality data that we piloted through the Opal Soils project will provide a unique opportunity to deliver new tools and opportunities for the ‘Big Society’ concept and citizen science as a tool.
