Analysis of Illicit Drugs, Their Metabolites and Other Micropollutants in Water by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
… water and natural water. Micropollutants are compounds that can exert adverse environmental and human health effects at low concentrations. Most of these compounds include personal care products and pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics and controlled substances. In the first part of this …

Characterization of Magnetite Nanoparticle Reactivity in the Presence of Carbon Tetrachloride
… number of groundwater systems contaminated by chlorinated organic compounds. Of these compounds, carbon tetrachloride (CT) is one of the most frequently encountered due to its past, widespread industrial use. In anaerobic groundwater environments, CT has been shown to be susceptible to …

Microbial Growth On Anthropogenic Compounds By Reductive Dehalogenation Or Oxidation
The improper disposal of chlorinated organic compounds is a concern because of their toxicity and persistent nature. Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain 195 can reductively dehalogenate some of these compounds and, in the case of tetrachloroethene (PCE), detoxify it by producing ethene. Its genome …

Urban Stormwater Management: Treatment of Heavy Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Bioretention and Permeable Pavement Technologies
… hydrocarbons (PAHs); petroleum hydrocarbons; and chlorinated organic compounds, such as pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls. Conventional stormwater management practices are designed to dispose of the runoff as quickly as possible, not to treat the pollutants. Low Impact Development (LID) …

Application of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Signatures for Environmental Fingerprinting
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of 209 ‘man-made’ chlorinated organic compounds that were widely used in the 20th century for a variety of industrial uses. PCBs were first commercially produced in the 1929 and were manufactured until the 1980s when their use was phased out due to …
