Sewage sludges applied to agricultural soils are sources of microplastic pollution, however, little is known about the accumulation, persistence, or degradation of these microplastics over time. This is the first study to provide long-term, high temp... Read More about Microplastics in agricultural soils following sewage sludge applications: evidence from a 25-year study..

Journal Article
RAMAGE, S.J.F.F., PAGALING, E., HAGHI, R.K., DAWSON, L.A., YATES, K., PRABHU, R., HILLIER, S. and DEVALLA, S. 2022. Rapid extraction of high- and low-density microplastics from soil using high-gradient magnetic separation. Science of the total environment, [online], 831, article 154912. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154912

Microplastics (MPs) are present in all environments, and concerns over their possible detrimental effects on flora and fauna have arisen. Density separation (DS) is commonly used to separate MPs from soils to allow MP quantification; however, it freq...

Enantioselective LC-MS/MS for anthropogenic markers of septic tank discharge. (2018)
Journal Article
RAMAGE, S., CAMACHO-MUÑOZ, D. and PETRIE, B. 2019. Enantioselective LC-MS/MS for anthropogenic markers of septic tank discharge. Chemosphere [online], 219, pages 191-201. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.12.007

Households in rural locations utilize septic tanks for wastewater treatment and can cause surface water contamination. A new methodology was developed to help investigate the role septic tanks play in the dissemination of prescription and over-the-co...
