Environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (EPPPs) in Brisbane river sediments and their relationship to urbanisation

(2016) Environmentally persistent pharmaceutical pollutants (EPPPs) in Brisbane river sediments and their relationship to urbanisation. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The research project was aimed at investigating the relationship between urbanisation and the occurrence of ‘emerging organic pollutants ‘or ‘Environmentally Persistent Pharmaceutical Pollutants’ (EPPPs) in the Brisbane River sediments by developing improved test methods. The study was based on the detailed understanding of the pharmaceuticals most commonly consumed in South East Queensland and underpinned by the demographic data for the region and the urbanisation characteristics.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
