Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Environmental chemistry, Persistent organic pollutant, Sediment, Estuary and Hydrology are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Environmental engineering, Soil water, Particulates, Chlordane and Pollution. His Persistent organic pollutant research incorporates elements of Sedimentary depositional environment, Air pollution, Pesticide and Radiometric dating.

His research integrates issues of Oceanography, Bay, China sea, Water pollution and Dry weight in his study of Sediment. His work in Estuary addresses subjects such as Trace metal, which are connected to disciplines such as Cadmium. His study looks at the relationship between Hydrology and topics such as Seawater, which overlap with Water column.

His most cited work include:

  • Heavy metals in agricultural soils of the Pearl River Delta, South China (512 citations)
  • Occurrence and elimination of antibiotics at four sewage treatment plants in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), South China (458 citations)
  • Heavy metal contamination in soils and vegetables near an e-waste processing site, south China (397 citations)

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

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Sediment, Pollutant, Pollution and Total organic carbon. His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Environmental engineering, Soil water, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Contamination and Particulates. His Environmental engineering research includes themes of Air pollution and Persistent organic pollutant.

His biological study deals with issues like Hydrology, which deal with fields such as Sedimentary rock. His Pollutant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both China and Environmental protection. His Pollution study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmosphere and Pesticide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (64.58%)
  • Sediment (16.05%)
  • Pollutant (15.50%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (64.58%)
  • Total organic carbon (13.10%)
  • Pollution (13.47%)

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

Gan Zhang spends much of his time researching Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon, Pollution, Coal combustion products and Soil water. His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Biomass burning, Contamination and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Pollutant. His study focuses on the intersection of Total organic carbon and fields such as Biomass with connections in the field of Vegetation.

Gan Zhang has researched Pollution in several fields, including Central china and Beijing. The concepts of his Coal combustion products study are interwoven with issues in Atmospheric sciences, Nitrate and Seasonality. Gan Zhang combines subjects such as Spatial distribution and Biogeochemical cycle with his study of Soil water.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human impacts on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon distribution in Chinese intertidal zones (18 citations)
  • Evidence for Major Contributions of Unintentionally Produced PCBs in the Air of China: Implications for the National Source Inventory (18 citations)
  • Dual-modelling-based source apportionment of NOx in five Chinese megacities: Providing the isotopic footprint from 2013 to 2014. (14 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Gan Zhang focuses on Environmental chemistry, Total organic carbon, Contamination, Pollution and Pollutant. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Volatility, Combustion, Sediment, Metallurgical industry and Naphthalene. Gan Zhang interconnects Perfluorooctanoic acid, Fluorotelomer, Seawater and Estuary in the investigation of issues within Sediment.

The Total organic carbon study combines topics in areas such as Carbon, Outflow and Plankton. His work deals with themes such as Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Dechlorane plus and Surface water, which intersect with Contamination. His Pollution research integrates issues from Chemical composition, Coal combustion products, Biomass burning, Beijing and Fossil fuel combustion.
