• The flammability of textiles when contaminated with paraffin base products 

  Hall, Sarah; Franklin, Leonie; Bull, Jason; Beard, Alex; Phillips, George; Morrissey, Joanne (Article)

  Several fire related deaths have been reported and linked with the use of paraffin base skin creams/emollients. However, no scientific research has been published on the flammability of textiles when contaminated with such ...

• Drugs of abuse in drinking water - a review of current detection methods, occurrence, elimination, and health risks. 

  Hall, Sarah; Gautam, Lata; Peng, Yan (Article)

  This review focuses on the drugs of abuse in drinking water, as their presence is of increasing global concern and trace levels of these compounds have previously been detected. Even though these levels are not toxic with ...

• The development of a novel adsorbent for collecting ignitable liquid residues from a fire scene. 

  Hall, Sarah; Gautam, Lata; White, Garry (Article)

  Different ad-hoc materials are being used to recover ignitable liquid residues (ILRs) when direct sampling is difficult at a fire scene. Our investigations have shown that these are unable to recover all target compounds ...

• Merging Wildlife and Environmental Monitoring Approaches with Forensic Principles: Application of Unconventional and Non-Invasive Sampling in Eco-Pharmacovigilance 

  Hall, Sarah; Richards, Ngaio; Gautam, Lata; Scott, Karen; Harrison, Nancy; Dowling, Geraldine; Zorilla, Irene; Fajardo, Iñigo (Article)

  Pharmaceutical residues in the environment have the potential to harm wildlife. A population’s fragility or an animal’s secretive nature may preclude capture and the use of invasive/destructive sampling techniques that are ...

• An optimised gas chromatographic – mass spectrometric method for the chemical characterisation of benzylpiperazine and 1-arypiperazine based drugs 

  Hall, Sarah; Kuleya, Chipo; Gautam, Lata; Cole, Michael (Article)
