Research

Dr. Jegede's research focuses on understanding the ecological impacts of environmental pollutants through the study of soil-based invertebrates. Our work encompasses pesticides (neonicotinoids, rodenticides), heavy metals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastics, and other emerging contaminants. We employ soil bioindicators to assess ecosystem health and develop risk assessment frameworks for environmental protection.
