Development of a straightforward direct injection UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of plastic additive chemicals in roadside retention ponds. (2024)
Journal Article
MCKENZIE, K., PLLU, A., CAMPBELL, I., LAWTON, L.A. and PETRIE, B. 2025. Development of a straightforward direct injection UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of plastic additive chemicals in roadside retention ponds. Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry [online], 417(3), pages 389-403. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00216-024-05657-3

There is growing interest in road pollution that enters surface waters. Additive chemicals used in the manufacture of plastics, including tyre rubber, are mobile pollutants that pose a threat to aquatic life. Therefore, an ultra-high performance liqu...

Septic tanks as a pathway for emerging contaminants to the aquatic environment: need for alternative rural wastewater treatment? (2024)
Journal Article
WILSCHNACK, M., CARTMELL, E., YATES, K. and PETRIE, B. 2024. Septic tanks as a pathway for emerging contaminants to the aquatic environment: need for alternative rural wastewater treatment? Environmental pollution [online], 362, article number 124988. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124988

Septic tanks (STs) as a decentralised approach to community wastewater treatment were investigated as a pathway for emerging contaminants (ECs) entering the aquatic environment. A broad range of ECs were examined in five community STs (population equ...

Targeted multi-analyte UHPLC-MS/MS methodology for emerging contaminants in septic tank wastewater, sludge and receiving surface water. (2024)
Journal Article
WILSCHNACK, M., HOMER, B., CARTMELL, E., YATES, K. and PETRIE, B. 2024. Targeted multi-analyte UHPLC-MS/MS methodology for emerging contaminants in septic tank wastewater, sludge and receiving surface water. Analytical methods [online], 16(5), pages 709-720. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/D3AY01201H

Septic tanks treat wastewater of individual houses and small communities (up to 2000 people in Scotland) in rural and semi-urban areas and are understudied sources of surface water contamination. A multi-analyte methodology with solid phase extractio...
