Renata Raina-Fulton

Renata Raina-Fulton is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Regina, Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on analytical and environmental chemistry, particularly in pesticide analysis, water quality monitoring, and environmental toxicology. She specializes in advanced analytical techniques like liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for detecting contaminants in environmental samples.

Her work addresses critical issues such as endocrine disruptors in water systems, fungicide and insecticide residues in food commodities, and long-term ecological impacts of chemicals like triclosan. She has contributed to method development for analyzing challenging pesticides (e.g., neonicotinoids, glyphosate) and their degradation products in diverse matrices including soil, water, and atmospheric particles.

Research trends in her articles emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to environmental chemistry, combining analytical innovation with ecological impact studies. Her studies often explore the environmental fate and transport of pollutants in agricultural and urban settings, contributing to regulatory and public health policies.

Dr. Raina-Fulton actively publishes in high-impact journals, focusing on methodological advancements and applied environmental chemistry. Her lab’s work bridges laboratory-based analyses with real-world environmental challenges, aiming to inform sustainable practices and regulatory frameworks.
