Food-chain transfer of cadmium and zinc from contaminated Urtica dioica to Helix aspersa and Lumbricus terrestris (2009)
Journal Article
Sinnett, D., Hodson, M. E., & Hutchings, T. R. (2009). Food-chain transfer of cadmium and zinc from contaminated Urtica dioica to Helix aspersa and Lumbricus terrestris. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 28(8), 1756-1766. https://doi.org/10.1897/08-604.1

The present study examines the potential of Urtica dioica as an ecologically relevant species for use in ecotoxicological testing. It is prevalent in degraded ecosystems and is a food source for invertebrates. Urtica dioica grown in hydroponic soluti...

Deposition and solubility of airborne metals to four plant species grown at varying distances from two heavily trafficked roads in London (2009)
Journal Article
Peachey, C. J., Sinnett, D., Wilkinson, M., Morgan, G. W., Freer-Smith, P. H., & Hutchings, T. R. (2009). Deposition and solubility of airborne metals to four plant species grown at varying distances from two heavily trafficked roads in London. Environmental Pollution, 157(8-9), 2291-2299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2009.03.032

In urban areas, a highly variable mixture of pollutants is deposited as particulate matter. The concentration and bioavailability of individual pollutants within particles need to be characterised to ascertain the risks to ecological receptors. This...

Journal Article
Tiwary, A., Sinnett, D., Peachey, C., Chalabi, Z., Vardoulakis, S., Fletcher, T., …Hutchings, T. R. (2009). An integrated tool to assess the role of new planting in PM10 capture and the human health benefits: A case study in London. Environmental Pollution, 157(10), 2645-2653. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2009.05.005

The role of vegetation in mitigating the effects of PM10 pollution has been highlighted as one potential benefit of urban greenspace. An integrated modelling approach is presented which utilises air dispersion (ADMS-Urban) and particulate interceptio...
