Assessing the partitioning of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in secondary wastewater treatment and fate to the receiving environments
… toxicity levels for aquatic and terrestrial receiving environments. Together, these findings suggest the estimation model is ineffective for predicting partitioning loadings in secondary treatment, concentrations are not likely to be toxic in the marine environment around the outfall, and …

Effect of surface modifications on biodegradation of nanocellulose and microbial response
… their biodegradability and potential impacts to receiving environments. Given the projected mass-scale application of nanocellulose and the inevitability of its subsequent release into environment, the purpose of this study was to determine the biodegradability of nanocellulose and the response …

Agency and emotion in transnational migration stories : life-changing experiences of Polish women in south west England.
… the different contexts of their sending and receiving environments, this study takes a gendered approach to understanding transnational migration and its opportunities and challenges. Listening to the life histories of individuals reveals transnational migration as a life-changing experience. …

Evaluating the Potential Impacts of Municipal Wastewater Effluent on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in the Upper Bow River
… (ESOCs), which may vary due to treatment type, receiving environments, and the population served. Outputs of MWWE have been associated with nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) but as populations grow and knowledge of ESOCs improves, it is crucial to understand how nutrient enrichment, and …

A sea of contested evidence: Disputes over coastal pollution in Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa
… discharge 55.3 megalitres (Ml) into marine receiving environments daily. With minimal pre-treatment that amounts to screening and sieving, this results in microbial and chemical pollution of the sea (including chemicals of emerging concern), marine organisms, recreational beaches, and Marine …

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of antimicrobial resistance in wastewater
… abundance of certain ARGs in downstream riverine receiving environments. Nonetheless, there appeared to be a number of other factors at play, and upstream and downstream resistomes tended to remain similar, calling for further research to delineate impacts of various wastewaters and treatments on …

Relocation Stories: experiences of Indigenous Footballers in the AFL
… theme. The findings emphasise the need for receiving environments, in this case the AFL, to treat every player on an individual basis rather than grouping them into a collective. It is essential that a player is understood in relation to his socio-cultural context. The AFL has implemented …

Development of an embryo-larval chronic toxicity test using the sea urchins Tripneustes gratilla and Echinometra mathaei
… toxicity of seawater samples collected from the receiving water of pulp mill effluent, but the results were highly variable. The fertilisation test would be the preferred choice for toxicity testing of seawater desalination brine, effluent and receiving water samples of pulp mill effluent as it …

Ecotourism and its ecological impact: A study of tourist developments in the Mara
… its ecological impacts on wildlife in receiving environments can be significant and should be a primary consideration in deciding upon the efficacy of individual proposals.

Carbon dosing of denitrifying bioreactors to remove nitrate from agricultural drainage
… dosing on bioreactors and downstream aquatic environments. Through observations ranging from field to mesocosm experiments, this thesis sought to (1) determine whether and to what extent external carbon dosing could improve nitrate removal in bioreactors and (2) assess the potential adverse …

Interaction of fluroquinolone antibiotics with nanophase metal oxide photocatalysts and soil minerals
… levels of pharmaceuticals can have on receiving environments. Assessing their risk involves predicting how long they will be retained in a given system, the transformations they may undergo, and resultant potency of transformation products. Both transport and chemical transformation …

Modelling temporal dynamics of discharge and nutrient loading from a mixed land use catchment, and interactions with a eutrophic, temperate lake under climate change
… assessment and sustainable management of receiving environments. Anthropogenic activities have increased nutrient export from terrestrial systems to lakes, where they may lead to eutrophication. Impacts of excess nutrients may be exacerbated by a warming climate. A variety of catchment …
