Research Areas/Interests

Analytical Chemistry and Environmental Toxicology. His research interests span a variety of areas all of which call to play his expertise in analytical and environmental chemistry: new product development and environmental toxicology with emphasis on the environmental impact of toxic substances and their effects on human and the surrounding environment, the origin, transport, distribution and fate of environmental pollutants (such as pesticides, PAHs, and heavy metals), human exposure, associated health hazards, and ecotoxicology. It includes aquatic pollution and heavy metals pollution in large and small scale artisanal mining, water quality assurance and quality control analysis of underground water, surface water as well as bottle and sachet water. In environmental pollution, he researches into heavy metals as well as radionuclide pollution of soils, river sediments, surface waters and fish from the general aquatic ecosystem. He is also endowed with the knowledge and skill in the food and beverage industry, analyzing food and food supplements for their safety, evaluating food and food supplements for their safety with respect to their proximate, heavy metal and pesticides contents.

On going research include,

  1. Distribution, mobility and speciation of mercury in the Volta basinof Ghana.
  2. Environmental and Occupational Exposures to Mercury in Artisanal Small Scale Mines
  3. Veterinary Drug Residue in Meat
  4. Pesticides residues in Fish
