Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Environmental engineering, Pollutant and Pesticide. As part of the same scientific family, Gareth O. Thomas usually focuses on Environmental chemistry, concentrating on Persistent organic pollutant and intersecting with Pollution. His Polybrominated diphenyl ethers research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrine disruptor, Electronic waste and Serum concentration.

His Environmental engineering study incorporates themes from Organic matter and Soil water, Soil contamination. His Pollutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmospheric dispersion modeling, Biota and Animal fat. His work in the fields of Pesticide, such as Organochlorine pesticide, intersects with other areas such as Occupational exposure.

His most cited work include:

  • Exposure of electronics dismantling workers to polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyls, and organochlorine pesticides in South China. (313 citations)
  • PAHs in background soils from western Europe : influence of atmospheric deposition and soil organic matter. (284 citations)
  • PBDEs in European background soils: levels and factors controlling their distribution. (230 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Environmental engineering, Pollutant and Persistent organic pollutant. Gareth O. Thomas studies Environmental chemistry, focusing on Congener in particular. His Polybrominated diphenyl ethers research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Brominated flame retardant and Blubber.

Gareth O. Thomas interconnects Partition coefficient, Holcus lanatus, Lolium perenne and Pollution in the investigation of issues within Environmental engineering. His Pollutant research includes themes of Range and Transect. His study on Persistent organic pollutant also encompasses disciplines like

  • Polychlorinated biphenyl together with Environmental exposure and Bioaccumulation,
  • Fire retardant which intersects with area such as Aerosol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (46.24%)
  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (20.43%)
  • Environmental engineering (18.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (46.24%)
  • Internal medicine (8.60%)
  • Lindane (6.45%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental chemistry, Internal medicine, Lindane, Calcium metabolism and Exocytosis. Congener is the focus of his Environmental chemistry research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hexachlorobenzene, Pollutant, Lutra, Otter and Dieldrin in addition to Congener.

Gareth O. Thomas has included themes like Biophysics and Endocrinology in his Internal medicine study. His Lindane research incorporates elements of Depolarization, Homeostasis, Cell biology and Hexachlorocyclohexane. His research investigates the link between Persistent organic pollutant and topics such as Environmental engineering that cross with problems in Fire retardant, Decabromodiphenyl ether and Particulates.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • PAHs in background soils from western Europe : influence of atmospheric deposition and soil organic matter. (284 citations)
  • Uptake and storage of PCBs by plant cuticles. (52 citations)
  • Decabromodiphenyl ether (deca-BDE) commercial mixture components, and other PBDEs, in airborne particles at a UK site. (39 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Biochemistry

Persistent organic pollutant, Environmental engineering, Environmental chemistry, Diphenyl ether and Polybrominated Biphenyls are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Persistent organic pollutant study are interwoven with issues in Soil organic matter, Soil water, Soil contamination, Total organic carbon and Deposition. Gareth O. Thomas has researched Environmental engineering in several fields, including Congener, Particulates, Decabromodiphenyl ether and Aerosol.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Fire retardant, Organic matter and Soil test in addition to Environmental chemistry. His work in Diphenyl ether incorporates the disciplines of Attenuated total reflection, Protein phosphorylation, DNA, Biochemistry and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers.
