Melamine and its derivatives in Australian pooled urine samples from 2012–2013 and 2022–2023 Open

Yarui Liu, Pritesh Prasad, Danielle E. Que, Geoff Eaglesham, Yuya Cheng , et al. · 2025

Melamine is a versatile compound with various industrial and commercial applications, and the long-term use has resulted in its widespread occurrence in the environment. Furthermore, illicit addition of melamine into food products has rais…

The Effects of Atrazine, Diuron, Fluazifop-P-butyl, Haloxyfop-P-methyl, and Pendimethalin on Soil Microbial Activity and Diversity Open

Paul G. Dennis, T. Kukulies, Christian Forstner, Fabien Plisson, Geoff Eaglesham , et al. · 2023

Understanding the impacts of herbicides on soil microbial communities is important, as these organisms mediate a wide range of ecosystem services. Here, we investigated whether the diversity and function of soil microbial communities were …

Direct injection analysis of oxypurinol and metformin in wastewater by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry Open

Qiuda Zheng, Pradeep Dewapriya, Geoff Eaglesham, Tim Reeks, Jack Thompson , et al. · 2022

The increasing global prevalence of gout and diabetes has led to a rise in the use of their respective medications, allopurinol and metformin. These are excreted via urine as oxypurinol and metformin and are discharged into wastewater and …

A pilot wastewater‐based epidemiology assessment of anabolic steroid use in Queensland, Australia Open

Katja M. Shimko, Jake O’Brien, Leon Barron, Hasan Kayalar, Jochen F. Mueller , et al. · 2019

Anabolic‐androgenic steroids are synthetic compounds prohibited due to their performance‐enhancing characteristics. The use of these substances is known to cause health‐related issues, which highlights the importance of being able to evalu…

Contribution of transformation products towards the total herbicide toxicity to tropical marine organisms Open

Philip Mercurio, Geoff Eaglesham, Stephen Parks, Matt Kenway, Victor H. Beltran , et al. · 2018

Impact of in-Sewer Degradation of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) Population Markers on a Population Model Open

Jake O’Brien, Andrew P.W. Banks, Andrew Novic, Jochen F. Mueller, Guangming Jiang , et al. · 2017

A key uncertainty of wastewater-based epidemiology is the size of the population which contributed to a given wastewater sample. We previously developed and validated a Bayesian inference model to estimate population size based on 14 popul…

Medium-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (CPs) Dominate in Australian Sewage Sludge Open

Sicco H. Brandsma, Louise van Mourik, Jake O’Brien, Geoff Eaglesham, P.E.G. Leonards , et al. · 2017

To simultaneously quantify and profile the complex mixture of short-, median-, and long-chain CPs (SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs) in Australian sewage sludge, we applied and further validated a recently developed novel instrumental technique, us…

Degradation of Herbicides in the Tropical Marine Environment: Influence of Light and Sediment Open

Philip Mercurio, Jochen F. Mueller, Geoff Eaglesham, Jake O’Brien, Florita Flores , et al. · 2016

Widespread contamination of nearshore marine systems, including the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon, with agricultural herbicides has long been recognised. The fate of these contaminants in the marine environment is poorly understood but t…

Herbicide Persistence in Seawater Simulation Experiments Open

Philip Mercurio, Jochen F. Mueller, Geoff Eaglesham, Florita Flores, Andrew P. Negri · 2015

Herbicides are detected year-round in marine waters, including those of the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The few previous studies that have investigated herbicide persistence in seawater generally reported half-lives in …
