Journal Article
Stanton, T., Kay, P., Johnson, M., Chan, F. K. S., Gomes, R. L., Hughes, J., Meredith, W., Orr, H. G., Snape, C. E., Taylor, M., Weeks, J., Wood, H., & Xu, Y. (2021). It's the product not the polymer: Rethinking plastic pollution. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 8(1), Article e1490. https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1490

Mismanaged plastic waste poses a complex threat to the environments that it contaminates, generating considerable concern from academia, industry, politicians, and the general public. This concern has driven global action that presents a unique oppor... Read More about It's the product not the polymer: Rethinking plastic pollution.

The increasing availability of data, due to the adoption of low-cost industrial internet of things technologies, coupled with increasing processing power from cloud computing, is fuelling increase use of data-driven models in manufacturing. Utilising... Read More about Considerations, challenges and opportunities when developing data-driven models for process manufacturing systems.

Freshwater microplastic concentrations vary through both space and time (2020)
Journal Article
Stanton, T., Johnson, M., Nathanail, P., MacNaughtan, W., & Gomes, R. L. (2020). Freshwater microplastic concentrations vary through both space and time. Environmental Pollution, 263, Article 114481. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114481

Plastic pollution represents one of the most salient indicators of society’s impact on the environment. The microplastic component of this is ubiquitous, however, microplastic studies are seldom representative of the locations they sample. Over 12 mo...
