Jun Li

Dr Jun Li is a former academic researcher at Lancaster University, specializing in environmental chemistry and toxicology. Their work focuses on understanding the fate and transport of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in environmental systems. They have extensively studied these contaminants in air, soil, water, and biological systems across diverse regions including China, Pakistan, India, and the Indian Ocean basin.

Key research interests include:

• Environmental partitioning of pollutants (air-soil-water exchanges)
• Black carbon mediated distribution of contaminants
• Photochemical degradation processes
• Ecological risk assessments
• E-waste pollution impacts

Recent work highlights include studying aerosol formation of organophosphate esters (2024), spatiotemporal variations of PM2.5 in Guangzhou (2021), and spatial distribution patterns of PAH-degrading microbes in forest soils (2020). Their research often involves collaborative international studies with institutions in China, Pakistan, and India.

Publications reveal a focus on analytical methods for contaminant detection, source apportionment techniques, and environmental modeling approaches. While no specific awards are listed, their prolific publication record (42+ outputs) demonstrates significant contributions to environmental science.
