Overview

John J. Kelly is affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands and specializes in Environmental Science with a focus on pollution and waste management. Their research addresses several intersecting topics including microplastics and plastic pollution, recycling and waste management techniques, pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts, as well as broader concerns such as marine biology, environmental chemistry, wildlife-road interactions, and water treatment.

Their recent publications reflect a concentrated effort to understand the ecological and microbiological dimensions of plastics in aquatic environments. Notable papers include:

  • Wastewater treatment alters microbial colonization of microplastics, 2021, published in PLoS ONE
  • Microplastic selects for convergent microbiomes from distinct riverine sources, 2020, published in Freshwater Science
  • Biofilm assemblage and activity on plastic in urban streams at a continental scale: Site characteristics are more important than substrate type, 2022, published in The Science of The Total Environment
  • Plastic microbiome development in a freshwater ecosystem, 2022, published in The Science of The Total Environment
  • Biofilms on plastic litter in an urban river: Community composition and activity vary by substrate type, 2024, published in Water Environment Research

They frequently publish in venues such as The Science of The Total Environment, Water Environment Research, PLoS ONE, Freshwater Science, and the SSRN Electronic Journal.

Collaboration is a significant aspect of their work, with recurring coauthors including:

  • Timothy J. Hoellein
  • Anna E. S. Vincent
  • Adit Chaudhary
  • Maxwell G. London
  • Elizabeth M. Berg

Their expertise spans various subfields of study within Environmental Science, particularly pollution and industrial and manufacturing engineering, alongside smaller contributions to ecology, ocean engineering, and health-related toxicology. The main topics in their research portfolio focus heavily on microplastics and plastic pollution, recycling and waste management, and the environmental effects of pharmaceuticals and antibiotics.
