Crispin is an environmental chemist who has a deep interest in how synthetic organic chemicals behave in the environment. He is particularly interested in assessing and reducing the risks posed by some of these chemicals to both the wider environment and to human health. He researches the fate of industrial chemicals, pesticides and pharmaceuticals and those factors that affect their longevity in the environment, including in remote regions like the Arctic! Crispin has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers on chemical pollutants and their fate. One of his papers, published in 2010, has received over 110 citations and details the environmental fate of endosulfan, an organochlorine pesticide that has subsequently been incorporated into the UNEP Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
