Description
This research contributed to the rather limited knowledge on the transport of organic contaminants in estuarine environments from South-East Queensland. Modelling studies were conducted to assess the fate of some current-use pesticides and pharmaceuticals in the Brisbane River estuary. The vertical transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soils from a previous firefighting training ground was also assessed. The outcomes of this study contribute to the global stock taking of organic contaminants in the environments and are expected to be useful in designing effective containment or remediation strategies for organic contamination.
Impact and interest:
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.
