Thermal regeneration of activated carbon for the treatment of drinking water
… available technology (BAT) for the removal of synthetic organic compounds from drinking water. Drinking water utilities which use GAC must either replace or regenerate the carbon periodically. Thermal regeneration is one option for handling spent carbon.

Synthetic and Computational Studies on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Derivatives, Nucleoside Analogs and Peptides
… As an outgrowth of this understanding, organic molecules that react with biological macromolecules (DNA) or adopt conformations responsible for specific functions in biological macromolecules (peptides and proteins) have been synthesized and computational modeling studies performed. …

Impact of Indirect Potable Reuse on Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in the Potomac River Basin
… of endocrine disruption. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are exogenous chemicals that interfere with the endocrine system and can cause detrimental health effects at low concentrations. This study aims to understand a best management practice referred to as planned indirect potable reuse …

Geospatial Trends of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Incidence in Private Drinking Water in Virginia
… polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic organic compounds that are hydrophobic, thermally stable, and resistant to environmental degradation. Widespread industrial and household use has resulted in frequent environmental and drinking water detection, raising concerns about …

Behavioral and biochemical processing of natural and synthetic xenobiotics in the western honey bee apis mellifera
… of labor in the detoxification of natural and synthetic xenobiotics. I approached this question from a behavioral perspective by assessing the extent to which foragers can detect and avoid natural and synthetic xenobiotics, and from a biochemical perspective, by determining how detoxification …
