What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering, Persistent organic pollutant, Pollutant and Pollution.
In general Environmental chemistry study, his work on Water pollution often relates to the realm of Pah exposure, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His research integrates issues of Water quality, Pesticide and Aquatic ecosystem in his study of Environmental engineering.
His work carried out in the field of Persistent organic pollutant brings together such families of science as Soil water and Soil contamination.
His Pollutant study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Air quality monitoring and Environmental protection.
His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology, Waste management and Raw material as well as Pollution.
His most cited work include:
- Bisphenol A (BPA) in China: A review of sources, environmental levels, and potential human health impacts (601 citations)
- Passive-Sampler Derived Air Concentrations of Persistent Organic Pollutants on a North-South Transect in Chile (218 citations)
- Evaluation of water quality in the Chillán River (Central Chile) using physicochemical parameters and a modified water quality index. (215 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Ecology, Pollutant, Pesticide and Ecotoxicology.
His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Contamination, Persistent organic pollutant, Soil water, Pollution and Nereididae.
His Persistent organic pollutant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Environmental engineering and Environmental protection.
His Polybrominated diphenyl ethers study in the realm of Pollutant interacts with subjects such as Pygoscelis.
In his research on the topic of Ecotoxicology, Fishery, Paper mill and Animal science is strongly related with Rainbow trout.
As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Water quality, concentrating on Water pollution and intersecting with Drainage basin.
He most often published in these fields:
- Environmental chemistry (36.05%)
- Ecology (22.45%)
- Pollutant (14.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Zoology (6.12%)
- Environmental chemistry (36.05%)
- Invertebrate (4.76%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Zoology, Environmental chemistry, Invertebrate, Pesticide and Aquatic ecosystem.
His Zoology research includes themes of Environmental effects monitoring and Pollution.
His Invertebrate study is concerned with the larger field of Ecology.
Ricardo Barra works on Ecology which deals in particular with Ecosystem.
His Pesticide research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Current, Environmental engineering and Pollutant.
His study in Polybrominated diphenyl ethers is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Watershed, Contamination, Fish migration, Southern Hemisphere and Oncorhynchus.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Erosion proxies in an exotic tree plantation question the appropriate land use in Central Chile (14 citations)
- Legacy and current-use pesticides (CUPs) in the atmosphere of a rural area in central Chile, using passive air samplers. (13 citations)
- Sustainable chemistry challenges from a developing country perspective: Education, plastic pollution, and beyond (12 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Ecology
- Agriculture
- Ecosystem
Ricardo Barra spends much of his time researching Environmental chemistry, Biomagnification, Trophic level, δ15N and Invertebrate.
His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Taxon and Mucus.
His Biomagnification research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Aquatic ecosystem, Ecosystem and Wildlife.
