Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Environmental chemistry

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Perfluorooctane, Persistent organic pollutant, Surface water and Fluorotelomer. He interconnects Seawater, Contamination, Pollutant and Sewage treatment in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry. His Persistent organic pollutant study incorporates themes from Gas chromatography and Air pollution.

As a part of the same scientific family, Lutz Ahrens mostly works in the field of Surface water, focusing on Water pollution and, on occasion, North sea, Effluent, Water treatment, Waste treatment and Wastewater. Lutz Ahrens combines subjects such as Bioconcentration, Perch and Volatile organic compound with his study of Fluorotelomer. In his study, Passive sampling is inextricably linked to Pesticide, which falls within the broad field of Chromatography.

His most cited work include:

  • Polyfluoroalkyl compounds in the aquatic environment: a review of their occurrence and fate (338 citations)
  • Distribution of polyfluoroalkyl compounds in water, suspended particulate matter and sediment from Tokyo Bay, Japan. (223 citations)
  • Fate and effects of poly‐ and perfluoroalkyl substances in the aquatic environment: A review (211 citations)

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

Lutz Ahrens focuses on Environmental chemistry, Contamination, Surface water, Sewage treatment and Perfluorooctane. He is interested in Fluorotelomer, which is a branch of Environmental chemistry. The various areas that Lutz Ahrens examines in his Contamination study include Organic matter, Soil water and Environmental engineering.

His Surface water study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Water pollution, Groundwater, Water quality, Dry weight and Pollution. His study focuses on the intersection of Sewage treatment and fields such as Aquatic environment with connections in the field of Environmental monitoring and Water pollutants. His research integrates issues of Persistent organic pollutant and Sorption in his study of Perfluorooctanoic acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (67.27%)
  • Contamination (17.58%)
  • Surface water (16.97%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (67.27%)
  • Contamination (17.58%)
  • Surface water (16.97%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Contamination, Surface water, Water treatment and Chromatography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pollutant, Adsorption, Sorption, Dry weight and Pollution in addition to Environmental chemistry. His Contamination study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Aquatic environment and Organic matter.

Lutz Ahrens has researched Surface water in several fields, including Water pollution, Soil water, Wastewater, Water quality and Sewage treatment. His Water treatment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Raw water, Pesticide, Mass spectrometry, Granular activated carbon and Chloramination. His study on Extraction and Column is often connected to Quechers and High resolution as part of broader study in Chromatography.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Behavioural effects and bioconcentration of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. (17 citations)
  • Adsorption behavior of per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFASs) to 44 inorganic and organic sorbents and use of dyes as proxies for PFAS sorption (11 citations)
  • Removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in a full-scale drinking water treatment plant: Long-term performance of granular activated carbon (GAC) and influence of flow-rate. (10 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Lutz Ahrens mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Surface water, Pollution, Wastewater and Sewage treatment. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates themes from Toxic potential and Toxicity. His Surface water research incorporates elements of Soil Pollutants and Soil water.

His Pollution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aquatic environment, Uplc ms ms and Water column. His Wastewater research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pollutant, Effluent, Dry weight, Water treatment and River water. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Contamination and Sewage treatment.
