Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Environmental chemistry

Ronald A. Hites mostly deals with Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Atmosphere, Air pollution and Water pollution. Ronald A. Hites studies Congener, a branch of Environmental chemistry. His study in Polybrominated diphenyl ethers is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Trophic level and Pesticide.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dibenzofuran, Deposition, Soil water, Troposphere and Atmospheric temperature. His Air pollution research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Incineration and Spatial variability. Ronald A. Hites interconnects Trout, Chlordane, Pollutant and Hexachlorocyclohexane in the investigation of issues within Water pollution.

His most cited work include:

  • Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers in the Environment and in People: A Meta-Analysis of Concentrations (1304 citations)
  • The global distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in recent sediments (801 citations)
  • Global Assessment of Organic Contaminants in Farmed Salmon (735 citations)

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

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Mass spectrometry, Pesticide, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and Pollutant. The study incorporates disciplines such as Air pollution, Atmosphere, Environmental engineering and Persistent organic pollutant in addition to Environmental chemistry. His research in Mass spectrometry intersects with topics in Gas chromatography and Electron capture.

His research related to Chlordane, Toxaphene and Organochlorine pesticide might be considered part of Pesticide. Ronald A. Hites combines topics linked to Congener with his work on Polybrominated diphenyl ethers. His Analytical chemistry research incorporates elements of Ion, Ionization and Chemical ionization.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (45.17%)
  • Mass spectrometry (16.19%)
  • Pesticide (12.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (45.17%)
  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (10.97%)
  • Atmosphere (10.44%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Atmosphere, Pollutant and Dechlorane plus. His Environmental chemistry research also works with subjects such as

  • Phosphate and related Tris and Chromatography,
  • Precipitation which intersects with area such as Organochlorine pesticide. His Polybrominated diphenyl ethers research includes themes of Contamination and Sturgeon.

His studies examine the connections between Atmosphere and genetics, as well as such issues in Air pollutants, with regards to Persistent organic pollutant and Pesticide. His work deals with themes such as Fire retardant and Hexabromocyclododecane, which intersect with Dechlorane plus. The Hexabromobenzene study combines topics in areas such as Environmental engineering and Halogenated Diphenyl Ethers.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Dechlorane Plus and Related Compounds in the Environment: A Review (284 citations)
  • Organophosphate and halogenated flame retardants in atmospheric particles from a European Arctic site. (172 citations)
  • High Levels of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in the Great Lakes Atmosphere (154 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Hydrogen

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Atmosphere, Hexabromobenzene and Organophosphate. Water pollutants is the focus of his Environmental chemistry research. His work focuses on many connections between Atmosphere and other disciplines, such as Precipitation, that overlap with his field of interest in Environmental engineering.

His biological study deals with issues like Air pollutants, which deal with fields such as Bromobenzene, Pentabromotoluene and Eagle. His studies in Organophosphate integrate themes in fields like Triphenyl phosphate and Phosphate. He has included themes like Fire retardant and Hexabromocyclododecane in his Dechlorane plus study.
