These topics illustrate a broad engagement with environmental contaminants and their effects on ecosystems and food quality.

Taylor's recent publications reflect these areas of expertise. Notable papers include:

  • Seasonal dynamics of the macrophyte test species Myriophyllum spicatum over two years in experimental ditches for population modeling application in risk assessment, 2021, published in Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
  • Critical review of chronic toxicity testing approaches with the saltwater mysid (Americamysis bahia) used in pesticide registration, 2025, published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
  • Front Matter, 2022, published by Bristol University Press eBooks
  • 69. The ability of near infrared spectroscopy to measure volatile compounds in pig feed ingredients, 2023, published in Animal - science proceedings
  • Seasonal dynamics of the standard test species Lemna sp. in outdoor microcosms, 2024, published in Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management

Their frequent coauthors were Eric J. Bruns, G.H.P. Arts, Jeroen van Smeden, Marieke F. Wolters, and J.D.M. Belgers, indicating collaboration across multiple research projects.

Taylor's work appeared most frequently in the journal Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, followed by Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Bristol University Press eBooks, and Animal - science proceedings. Additionally, there was a publication in Environment International.

The scientist's subfields of study included health, toxicology and mutagenesis; food science; pollution; environmental chemistry; and industrial and manufacturing engineering, illustrating a multidisciplinary approach to environmental sciences.

Taylor received several awards, including fellowships in the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in 1995 and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1987. They were also a member of the National Academy of Sciences from 1994.
