Pollution Science

Pollution Science Research Group

Scientists in our multi-disciplinary research team use world-class facilities to answer the challenges of pollution in the environment.

We focus on pollutants in soils: their processing and cycling, interactions, their effects, managing risks and remediation, with specific interest in comparative arsenic and antimony ecotoxic effects and biogeochemistry.

Current projects include derelict mine rehabilitation and monitoring, Hillgrove, NSW and food chain contaminant transfers and fish ecotoxicity experiments.

Our team is supervised by Susan Wilson and Matt Tighe, and based in the School of Environmental and Rural Science.

News & Events

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
