Journal Article
Ramage, C. I., Alfama Lopes dos Santos, R., Yon, L., Johnson, M. F., & Vane, C. H. (2025). Widespread pesticide pollution in two English river catchments of contrasting land-use: from sediments to fish. Environmental Pollution, 375, Article 126371. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.126371

Water, sediments, fish and invertebrates were collected along two English rivers (R. Tone, Sommerset and R. Wensum, Norfolk) and analysed for 52 pesticides to assess source to sea spatial distribution and track bioaccumulation within wildlife. Chemic...

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 33(1), Article 16. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11273-025-10031-w

The Pantanal wetland ecosystem of Brazil is experiencing unprecedented local challenges from anthropogenic pressures, as well as from global climate change. These pressures escalate the zoonotic risks from wildlife populations, whose own susceptibili...

Trace metal accumulation through the environment and wildlife at two derelict lead mines in Wales (2024)
Journal Article
Sartorius, A., Johnson, M. F., Young, S., Bennett, M., Baiker, K., Edwards, P., & Yon, L. (2024). Trace metal accumulation through the environment and wildlife at two derelict lead mines in Wales. Heliyon, 10(14), Article e34265. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34265

Trace metal pollution is globally widespread, largely resulting from human activities. Due to the persistence and high toxicity of trace metals, these pollutants can have serious effects across ecosystems. However, few studies have directly assessed...

Science of the Total Environment, 869, Article 161684. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161684

Understanding the links between environmental and wildlife elemental concentrations is key to help assess ecosystem functions and the potential effects of legacy pollutants. In this study, livers from 448 European badgers (Meles meles) collected acro...

Human health implications from consuming eggs produced near a derelict metalliferous mine: a case study (2022)
Journal Article
Sartorius, A., Johnson, M., Young, S., Bennett, M., Baiker, K., Edwards, P., & Yon, L. (2022). Human health implications from consuming eggs produced near a derelict metalliferous mine: a case study. Food Additives and Contaminants: Part A: Chemistry, Analysis, Control, Exposure and Risk Assessment, 39(6), 1074-1085. https://doi.org/10.1080/19440049.2022.2062059

Lead pollution from metalliferous mines can have major environmental and health effects long after the mines have closed. Animals living near derelict mine sites can inadvertently ingest lead-contaminated soils, causing them to accumulate lead and po...

As a consequence of accelerated and excessive use of pesticides in tropical regions, wilderness areas are under threat; this includes the Pantanal wetlands in the Upper Paraguay River Basin (UPRB). Using a Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) modelling...
