Ronald A. Hites studies toxic organic pollutants in the environment, using analytical chemistry techniques such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify and measure contaminants in air, water, and living organisms. A major focus is tracking long-term trends of persistent pollutants like PCBs, DDTs, flame retardants, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly in the Great Lakes region. The work also addresses statistical methods for handling environmental measurement data.
