Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Chromatography, Hexabromocyclododecane and Brominated flame retardant. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Estuary, Pesticide, Hexachlorobenzene, Chromatographic separation and Persistent organic pollutant. The study incorporates disciplines such as Adipose tissue, Contamination and Pollution in addition to Polybrominated diphenyl ethers.

His Chromatography study focuses mostly on Extraction and Gas chromatography. In his work, Environmental protection and Enantiomer is strongly intertwined with Ecotoxicology, which is a subfield of Hexabromocyclododecane. His work carried out in the field of Brominated flame retardant brings together such families of science as Ecology and Tetrabromobisphenol A.

His most cited work include:

  • EU-wide monitoring survey on emerging polar organic contaminants in wastewater treatment plant effluents. (644 citations)
  • Hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) in the environment and humans: a review. (602 citations)
  • Determination of brominated flame retardants, with emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in environmental and human samples—a review (363 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Chromatography, Environmental chemistry, Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Food science and Biomonitoring. His Environmental chemistry research includes themes of Pesticide, Hexachlorobenzene, Pollutant, Contamination and Hexabromocyclododecane. While the research belongs to areas of Hexabromocyclododecane, he spends his time largely on the problem of Brominated flame retardant, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Tetrabromobisphenol A.

His Polybrominated diphenyl ethers study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Zoology, Congener, Fishery, Buteo buteo and Adipose tissue. His work on Food products as part of general Food science study is frequently linked to Dietary exposure, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Biomonitoring brings together such families of science as Metabolite, Urine, Phthalate and Environmental health.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chromatography (36.59%)
  • Environmental chemistry (25.20%)
  • Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (24.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Chromatography (36.59%)
  • Contamination (10.57%)
  • Food science (13.82%)

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

Stefan Voorspoels mainly investigates Chromatography, Contamination, Food science, Urine and Metabolite. His Contamination study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry and Adsorption. His studies link Polybrominated diphenyl ethers with Environmental chemistry.

The various areas that Stefan Voorspoels examines in his Food science study include Biochemistry, Polyphenol and Dechlorane plus. His Urine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phthalate, DPHP, Urinary system, Asthma and Biomonitoring. His work in Metabolite addresses issues such as Organophosphate, which are connected to fields such as Wax, Method development, Phosphate and Extraction methods.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phthalate-induced oxidative stress and association with asthma-related airway inflammation in adolescents (35 citations)
  • Human exposure pathways to organophosphate flame retardants: Associations between human biomonitoring and external exposure. (34 citations)
  • Development, validation and evaluation of an analytical method for the determination of monomeric and oligomeric procyanidins in apple extracts (26 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology
  • Organic chemistry

Stefan Voorspoels mostly deals with Metabolite, Chromatography, Contamination, Food science and DPHP. As part of one scientific family, Stefan Voorspoels deals mainly with the area of Metabolite, narrowing it down to issues related to the Urine, and often Odds ratio, Phthalate, Toxicology, Dibutyl phthalate and Urinary system. His research in Chromatography intersects with topics in Proanthocyanidin, Polyphenol and Monomer.

His Contamination study incorporates themes from Environmental chemistry, Food Analysis and Dechlorane plus. His Food science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Nannochloropsis, Downstream processing and Cell wall. His Organophosphate research includes elements of Polybrominated diphenyl ethers, Wax and Biomonitoring.
