An assessment of potential pesticide transmission, considering the combined impact of soil texture and pesticide properties: A meta-analysis
McGinley, John; Harmon O’Driscoll, Jenny; Healy, Mark G.; Ryan, Paraic C.; Mellander, Per Eric; Morrison, Liam; Callery, Oisin; Siggins, Alma (Wiley, 2022-02-22)Pesticides are widely employed as a cost-effective means of reducing the impacts of undesirable plants and animals. The aim of this paper is to develop a risk ranking of transmission of key pesticides through soil to ... -
Evaluating long-term performance of low-cost adsorbents using small-scale adsorption column experiments
Callery, Oisin; Healy, Mark G.; Rognard, F.; Barthelemy, L.; Brennan, Raymond B. (Elsevier, 2016-05-31)This study investigated a novel method of predicting the long-term phosphorus removal performance of large-scale adsorption filters, using data derived from short-term, small-scale column experiments. The filter media ... -
Predicting the propagation of concentration and saturation fronts in fixed-bed filters
Callery, Oisin; Healy, Mark G. (IWA Publishing, 2017-07-05)The phenomenon of adsorption is widely exploited across a range of industries to remove contaminants from gases and liquids. Much recent research has focused on identifying low-cost adsorbents which have the potential to ... -
Use of amendments in a peat soil to reduce phosphorus losses from forestry operations
Callery, Oisin; Brennan, Raymond B.; Healy, Mark G. (Elsevier, 2015-10-18)Forestry harvesting on peats is known to result in significant losses of soil phosphorus (P) to adjacent waters, and the issue is becoming an increasingly serious concern as peatland forest stocks mature and reach harvestable ...
