Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

Urs Berger focuses on Environmental chemistry, Fluorotelomer, Perfluorooctane, Ecology and Chromatography. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Alkyl, Sewage and Sewage treatment. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Perfluorooctanoic acid, Air pollution, Meteorology and Southern Hemisphere.

His research integrates issues of Particulates, Ethyl acetate and Electrospray, Mass spectrometry in his study of Air pollution. The Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification research Urs Berger does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Perfluorononanoic acid, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Urs Berger frequently studies issues relating to Pollutant and Chromatography.

His most cited work include:

  • Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment: Terminology, classification, and origins (1228 citations)
  • Determination of selected pharmaceuticals and caffeine in sewage and seawater from Tromsø/Norway with emphasis on ibuprofen and its metabolites. (349 citations)
  • Levels and trends of poly- and perfluorinated compounds in the arctic environment. (314 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental chemistry, Chromatography, Mass spectrometry, Perfluorooctanoic acid and Perfluorooctane. In the subject of general Environmental chemistry, his work in Fluorotelomer and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid is often linked to Human exposure, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Fluorotelomer research integrates issues from Air pollution and Persistent organic pollutant.

His High-performance liquid chromatography, Gas chromatography, Detection limit, Extraction and Sample preparation study are his primary interests in Chromatography. His study in Mass spectrometry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization and Chemical ionization. His study on Meltwater is often connected to Soil test as part of broader study in Snow.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (43.38%)
  • Chromatography (29.41%)
  • Mass spectrometry (15.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (43.38%)
  • Perfluorooctanoic acid (11.76%)
  • Contamination (7.35%)

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

Urs Berger mainly focuses on Environmental chemistry, Perfluorooctanoic acid, Contamination, Early life and Serum concentration. A large part of his Environmental chemistry studies is devoted to Fluorotelomer. His Fluorotelomer research focuses on Phosphoric Acid Esters and how it relates to Partition coefficient.

His work on Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid as part of his general Perfluorooctanoic acid study is frequently connected to Laboratory methods and Particle, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Aquatic environment and Ionic bonding in addition to Contamination. His Food web study in the realm of Trophic level interacts with subjects such as Nile tilapia.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mind the Gap: Persistent and Mobile Organic Compounds-Water Contaminants That Slip Through. (134 citations)
  • Occurrence of emerging persistent and mobile organic contaminants in European water samples. (49 citations)
  • Early life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs): A critical review (46 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Aquatic environment, Environmental health, Contamination and Perfluorooctanoic acid. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Trophic level, Phosphinic Acids and Zooplankton. His study on Aquatic environment also encompasses disciplines like

  • Organic chemicals which connect with Environmental engineering, Water treatment, Sewage treatment and Water resources,
  • Water contaminants that connect with fields like Ionic bonding.

His Environmental exposure study, which is part of a larger body of work in Environmental health, is frequently linked to Business and Confounding effect, bridging the gap between disciplines. He has included themes like Groundwater, Supercritical fluid chromatography, Methyl Sulfate and Chemical industry in his Contamination study. His research in Perfluorooctanoic acid intersects with topics in Partition coefficient, Fluorotelomer and Phosphoric Acid Esters.
