调查研究了珠三角典型蔬菜生产基地和稻田土壤及农产品(蔬菜、稻谷等)中塑化剂邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)、多环芳烃、壬基酚等有机污染物的污染特征、毒性有机物在土壤-蔬菜-渗漏水系统的环境行为(迁移转化、生物富集、降解作用)及其污染土壤的植物修复与调控技术进行了系统深入的研究。筛选获得了PAEs高、低累积作物(蔬菜、水稻、玉米)品种、促进土壤PAEs等有机污染物高效降解的玉米品种和菜心品种，初步阐明了其生理生化机制和促降解机理。另外，筛选分离获得了多株对PAEs具有高效降解(降解率90%以上)的微生物菌株，优化了降解条件，揭示了其降解性能、降解途径、降解基因，并研究了根际微生物群落结构与功能及其对PAEs消减的影响。研发了高效降解毒性有机污染物的污泥堆肥技术、污染土壤的植物-微生物联系修复技术及水肥管理措施。在《Bioresource Technology》、《Science of the Total Environment》、《Journal of Hazardous Materials》等发表了SCI收录论文40多篇，被SCI论文引用600多次，单篇最高被引用190余次。
