Dane C. Wagner's research examines how manufactured contaminants such as engineered nanomaterials (tiny particles designed for industrial or agricultural use) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, sometimes called 'forever chemicals') affect plants, using metabolomics (large-scale analysis of small molecules within an organism) to detect biochemical changes. Studies have covered crops like wheat and velvetleaf exposed to substances such as cerium oxide nanoparticles and PFOS, examining effects on plant growth, nutrition, and grain quality, including impacts that can persist across generations. This work sits within environmental toxicology, addressing how emerging pollutants move through and affect agricultural and natural plant systems.

Publication output was minimal before 2019, rose to a peak of five publications in 2022, and has continued at a modest, fluctuating pace of one to two papers per year since then.
