Overview

Bryn M. Phillips is affiliated with the University of California, Davis, in the United States. Their research spans environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences, focusing primarily on pesticide and herbicide environmental studies, environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology, insect and pesticide research, and related areas of pollution and toxicology.

Phillips's work addresses diverse topics including pesticide exposure and toxicity, insect-plant interactions and control, as well as urban stormwater management solutions and pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts.

Notable recent publications demonstrate engagement with water quality and pesticide contamination issues. These papers include:

  • An Integrated Vegetated Treatment System for Mitigating Imidacloprid and Permethrin in Agricultural Irrigation Runoff (2021, Toxics)
  • An evaluation of temporal and spatial trends of pyrethroid concentrations in California surface waters (2020, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • Effectiveness of a Constructed Wetland with Carbon Filtration in Reducing Pesticides Associated with Agricultural Runoff (2022, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology)
  • Water Quality Impairments Due to Aquatic Life Pesticide Toxicity: Prevention and Mitigation in California, USA (2020, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry)
  • Comparison of the Relative Efficacies of Granulated Activated Carbon and Biochar to Reduce Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid Loading and Toxicity Using Laboratory Bench Scale Experiments (2020, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology)

Phillips frequently collaborates with several researchers, indicating consistent partnerships in their field. Frequent co-authors include Jennifer P. Voorhees, Katie Siegler, Ron S. Tjeerdema, Brian S. Anderson, and Laura B. McCalla.

Most of Phillips's publications have appeared in journals that focus on environmental contamination and toxicology, such as The Science of The Total Environment, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, and Toxics.

Their research outputs contribute to understanding the environmental effects of pesticides, including strategies for mitigation and treatment of contaminated agricultural runoff, with an emphasis on both laboratory experiments and field-based evaluations in California.
