Open Access research that is better understanding work in the global economy...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the Department of Work, Employment & Organisation based within Strathclyde Business School.

Better understanding the nature of work and labour within the globalised political economy is a focus of the 'Work, Labour & Globalisation Research Group'. This involves researching the effects of new forms of labour, its transnational character and the gendered aspects of contemporary migration. A Scottish perspective is provided by the Scottish Centre for Employment Research (SCER). But the research specialisms of the Department of Work, Employment & Organisation go beyond this to also include front-line service work, leadership, the implications of new technologies at work, regulation of employment relations and workplace innovation.

Abstract

This study examined the range of carbon and hydrogen isotopes within a global set of gasolines to investigate the potential and limitations of isotopic analysis within environmental assessments of gasoline-contaminated sites. Bulk carbon and hydrogen isotope signatures within gasolines from the study had a range greater than 8 parts per thousand and 85 parts per thousand, respectively. The combination of both isotopes produced a highly discriminating two-dimensional (2D) isotope fingerprint, highlighting the potential of 2D fingerprinting to differentiate gasoline sources. Compound-specific carbon isotope analysis was also completed to investigate its application as a method for risk-based management and environmental forensics.
