Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Organic chemistry
• Catalysis
• Biochemistry

Her primary scientific interests are in Wastewater, Chromatography, Solid phase extraction, Water treatment and Electrospray. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sewage, Point of zero charge, Effluent, Sewage treatment and Environmental chemistry. Her work carried out in the field of Sewage treatment brings together such families of science as Environmental monitoring and River water.

Her work in Environmental chemistry addresses issues such as Surface water, which are connected to fields such as Water pollution, Benzoylecgonine and Water quality. Her Water treatment research integrates issues from Catalytic ozonation, Catalysis, Ozone, Biochemical engineering and Aqueous solution. Environmental impact of pharmaceuticals and personal care products is closely connected to Ion suppression in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Electrospray.

Her most cited work include:

• A review on emerging contaminants in wastewaters and the environment: current knowledge, understudied areas and recommendations for future monitoring. (1145 citations)
• The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters. (1023 citations)
• Catalytic ozonation and methods of enhancing molecular ozone reactions in water treatment (965 citations)

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

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern spends much of her time researching Wastewater, Chromatography, Environmental chemistry, Enantiomer and Environmental health. The Wastewater study combines topics in areas such as Sewage, Illicit drug, Effluent and Sewage treatment. Her Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Water treatment, Contamination, Biodegradation and Ozone.

Her Water treatment research includes themes of Aqueous solution, Organic chemistry and Catalysis. She has included themes like Ephedrine, Chirality, Enantioselective synthesis and Drug in her Enantiomer study. Her study in Drug is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Methamphetamine and MDMA.

She most often published in these fields:

• Wastewater (38.24%)
• Chromatography (24.37%)
• Environmental chemistry (19.33%)

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

• Wastewater (38.24%)
• Wastewater based epidemiology (10.50%)
• Environmental health (13.03%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Wastewater, Wastewater based epidemiology, Environmental health, Antibiotics and Antibiotic resistance. Her studies in Wastewater integrate themes in fields like Illicit drug, River catchment, Biotechnology and Effluent. Her biological study deals with issues like Environmental chemistry, which deal with fields such as Benzene and Contamination.

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern interconnects MDMA and Mephedrone in the investigation of issues within Environmental health. Her Antibiotics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Uplc ms ms, Prescription data and Pollutant. Within one scientific family, Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern focuses on topics pertaining to Veterinary medicine under Antibiotic resistance, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Sewage treatment and Levofloxacin.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Future perspectives of wastewater-based epidemiology: Monitoring infectious disease spread and resistance to the community level. (96 citations)
• 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)

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

• Organic chemistry
• Biochemistry
• Catalysis

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern mainly investigates Wastewater, Environmental health, MDMA, Early warning system and Benzoylecgonine. Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern brings together Wastewater and Urban environment to produce work in her papers. As part of her studies on MDMA, Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern often connects relevant subjects like Drug.

Early warning system combines with fields such as Infectious disease, Outbreak, Population growth, Knowledge management and General partnership in her research. Her Benzoylecgonine study incorporates themes from Illicit drug, Methamphetamine, Harm reduction and Stimulant. Her research integrates issues of Environmental chemistry, Ozone exposure, Tap water and Benzene in her study of Effluent.
