Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Agriculture

Des Connell mainly focuses on Environmental chemistry, Bioconcentration, Partition coefficient, Water pollution and Pesticide. Particularly relevant to Biomagnification is his body of work in Environmental chemistry. A large part of his Partition coefficient studies is devoted to Octanol.

His Octanol research focuses on Solubility and how it relates to Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and Halocarbon. His work carried out in the field of Water pollution brings together such families of science as Contamination, Marine pollution and Toxicant. Des Connell combines subjects such as Global distillation, Pollutant and Tropics with his study of Pesticide.

His most cited work include:

  • Octanol-water partition coefficients of polychlorinated biphenyl congeners (654 citations)
  • Toxicology and risk assessment of freshwater cyanobacterial (blue-green algal) toxins in water. (224 citations)
  • Chemistry and ecotoxicology of pollution (223 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Partition coefficient, Bioconcentration, Toxicology and Pesticide. He works mostly in the field of Environmental chemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Pollution and, in certain cases, Water pollution, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in the field of Octanol also crosses realms of Partition.

In his papers, Des Connell integrates diverse fields, such as Bioconcentration and Clearance rate. His study on Toxicology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Toxicity that connect with fields like Statistics and Ecotoxicology,
  • Health risk assessment that intertwine with fields like Environmental health. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Aqueous solution and Analytical chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (32.84%)
  • Partition coefficient (15.30%)
  • Bioconcentration (14.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Toxicology (11.94%)
  • Environmental chemistry (32.84%)
  • Health risk assessment (6.72%)

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

Des Connell mainly investigates Toxicology, Environmental chemistry, Health risk assessment, Chlorpyrifos and Hazard quotient. His Toxicology research includes elements of Agriculture, Probabilistic risk assessment, Range, Toxicity and Environmental exposure. Much of his study explores Environmental chemistry relationship to Aquatic organisms.

The concepts of his Health risk assessment study are interwoven with issues in Environmental health, Water well, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, Toluene and Petrol engine. His studies in Hazard quotient integrate themes in fields like Percentile, Acceptable daily intake, Exposure assessment and Benzene. His work investigates the relationship between Bioconcentration and topics such as Median lethal dose that intersect with problems in Ecotoxicology.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Bioaccumulation of Xenobiotic Compounds (139 citations)
  • Titania/carbon nanotube composite (TiO2/CNT) and its application for removal of organic pollutants (52 citations)
  • The effect of heat waves on ambulance attendances in Brisbane, Australia. (52 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Agriculture

Toxicology, Health risk assessment, Hazard quotient, Risk assessment and Exposure assessment are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Statistics and Pesticide use in his study of Toxicology. His research in Health risk assessment intersects with topics in ARSENIC EXPOSURE, Arsenic contamination of groundwater, Arsenic and Probabilistic risk assessment.

His Hazard quotient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acceptable daily intake, Water well, Petroleum Pollution, Petroleum and Nitrate. His Risk assessment research includes themes of Environmental protection, Percentile, Xylene, Urine and Biomonitoring. His research investigates the link between Exposure assessment and topics such as Benzene that cross with problems in Environmental engineering and Indoor air quality.
