Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

Alexander L.N. van Nuijs spends much of his time researching Wastewater, Sewage, Benzoylecgonine, Chromatography and Environmental health. His Sewage study combines topics in areas such as Illicit drug and Ecstasy. His research in Benzoylecgonine focuses on subjects like Environmental chemistry, which are connected to Surface water, Effluent and Water treatment.

He interconnects Alcohol and Alcohol consumption in the investigation of issues within Chromatography. The concepts of his Environmental health study are interwoven with issues in Cocaine use and Cannabis. In his study, MDMA and Per capita is strongly linked to Waste disposal, which falls under the umbrella field of Cannabis.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparing illicit drug use in 19 European cities through sewage analysis. (308 citations)
  • Illicit drug consumption estimations derived from wastewater analysis: a critical review. (282 citations)
  • Spatial differences and temporal changes in illicit drug use in Europe quantified by wastewater analysis (229 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Wastewater, Chromatography, Environmental health, Environmental chemistry and Sewage. His work carried out in the field of Wastewater brings together such families of science as Illicit drug and Sewage treatment. His work deals with themes such as Ecstasy, MDMA, Cannabis and Nicotine, which intersect with Environmental health.

Alexander L.N. van Nuijs has included themes like Benzoylecgonine and Drug in his MDMA study. His study in Environmental chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phosphorus, Surface water and Biochemical engineering. His Sewage study is concerned with the larger field of Environmental engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Wastewater (34.40%)
  • Chromatography (34.40%)
  • Environmental health (14.40%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Wastewater (34.40%)
  • Chromatography (34.40%)
  • Illicit drug (11.20%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Wastewater, Chromatography, Illicit drug, Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and Mass spectrometry. In the subject of general Chromatography, his work in Sample preparation is often linked to Specific time, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Benzoylecgonine, Stimulant and Water resource management.

Alexander L.N. van Nuijs combines subjects such as Methamphetamine, MDMA and Environmental health with his study of Stimulant. The various areas that Alexander L.N. van Nuijs examines in his Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry study include Ethcathinone, Calibration curve, Mephedrone and Butylone. His Mass spectrometry study incorporates themes from Molecule, Primary, Methylone and Formaldehyde.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Wastewater-Based Epidemiology: Global Collaborative to Maximize Contributions in the Fight Against COVID-19. (91 citations)
  • Spatio‐temporal assessment of illicit drug use at large scale: evidence from 7 years of international wastewater monitoring (52 citations)
  • A mood state-specific interaction between kynurenine metabolism and inflammation is present in bipolar disorder. (6 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Wastewater based epidemiology, 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak, Humanities, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and Electrochemistry. When carried out as part of a general Electrochemistry research project, his work on Voltammetry is frequently linked to work in Chromatography, Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and Square wave, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
