OverviewAI-generated summary

Hao Chen investigates environmental contamination and remediation, with a focus on microplastics and nutrient recovery. His work explores the characteristics, analytical methods, and impacts of microplastic pollution in soils and groundwater, as well as its effects on soil organisms. Chen also studies the removal of specific contaminants from wastewater, including heavy metals and antibiotics, using modified biochar materials. His research extends to the adsorption of elemental mercury from industrial emissions using engineered nanomaterials.

Chen's publications also address the photoreactivity of dissolved organic matter originating from microplastics and the gut toxicity of polystyrene microplastics on earthworms, examining impacts on gut bacteria communities. He has also investigated how human activities and land use affect microplastic occurrence and characteristics in urban soils. His scholarly output includes 125 publications with 5,957 citations and an h-index of 34, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He collaborates with Hem Chandra Sharma at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, with whom he has co-authored six publications.
