Since 2006, he has worked at the University of Bonn, Germany. Schwedt is the author of several analytical chemistry textbooks and a large number of popular science books.   The fate of contaminants in the environment, in particular, the transfer processes of pollutants between different compartments of the ecosystem, are still not very well understood.
