Emerging organic compounds EOC are substances which have been only recently determined as pollutants, and substances which have been newly developed or discovered in the environment. EOC in groundwater can cause adverse effects on the... more
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous and constitute a global hazard to the environment because of their robustness, resilience, and long-term presence in the ecosystem. For now, the majority of research has primarily focused on marine and... more
The present review aims to describe the recent and most impactful applications in pollutant analysis using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technology in environmental, food, and bio-clinical analysis. The covered papers were published... more

IT IS TOO OBVIOUS. THE REASON - DEATH IS A KICK ASS RUSH RIDE TO PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. WE LIKE IT. DMT ONENESS IS BORING, SEPARATION IS INTERESTING. PAIN AND SUFFERING ARE THE MOST USEFUL SEPARATION TOOLS ENTAILS FOCUS AWAY FROM... more
A large population living in suburban and rural areas in the world uses septic systems, also called onsite wastewater treatment systems, to dispose of household wastewater. In a conventional septic system, the wastewater flows from a... more
This work concentrates on the review paper published by Ahmed et al . [1] which is dedicated to the elimination of emerging contaminants (ECs) using biological, chemical and hybrid techniques in effluents from wastewater treatment plants... more
Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) form a source for a diverse group of bioactive ingredients such as analgesics, antibiotics, cytostatic hormones, disinfectants, and antiseptics whose steady occurrence in urban wastewater... more
There is a growing concern on heavy metals in consumer products due to their potential human health risks and environmental effects. In this study, the levels of zinc, cadmium, lead and nickel were assessed in 3 different classes of... more
The presence of 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) in edible oils has been widely reported with its potential health risks. The aim of this study was to apply optimized recent updated and validated enhanced swift analytical indirect method... more
One of the problems with most approaches in the selection of wastewater treatment systems is that the wastewater characteristics which are often estimated are assumed to remain constant through the design period of the plant. The change... more
Despite being one of the most important oil producing provinces in the United States, information on basinal hy-drogeology and fluid flow in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico is lacking. The source and geochemistry of brines from... more
Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the multifaceted plant anatomy, and analytical challenges to... more
Over the last few decades many attempts have been made to use biocatalysts for the biotransformation of emerging contaminants in environmental matrices. Laccase, a multicopper oxidoreductase enzyme, has shown great potential in oxidizing... more
Desde hace unos años, estamos asistiendo a una cantidad importante de noticias que alertan de forma más bien injustificada sobre la presencia de contaminantes emergentes (recientemente descubiertos) en las masas de agua y los efectos que... more
Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the multifaceted plant anatomy, and analytical challenges to... more
Removal of Emerging Contaminants from water via Granular Activated Carbon columns. Breakthrough curves obtained for each contaminant and adsorption models applied. The system removed endocrine disrupters more efficiently than... more
The management of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in water bodies is particularly challenging due to the difficulty in detection and their recalcitrant degradation by conventional means. In this review, CECs are characterized to... more
Despite being one of the most important oil producing provinces in the United States, information on basinal hy-drogeology and fluid flow in the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico is lacking. The source and geochemistry of brines from... more
The influence of phytoplankton-derived soluble extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), pH, and ionic strength (IS) on the dissolution, speciation, and stability of nano-CuO, nano-Cu, and Kocide (a micron sized Cu(OH)2- based fungicide)... more
Time-dependent aggregation, sedimentation, dissolution, and transformation of three copper-based engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) of varied properties were measured in eight natural and artificial waters. Nano-Cu and Cu(OH)2 aggregated... more
In general, it is important to examine the whole spectrum of interrelated fields while comprehending pollution, climate change or the environment, because some of their relevances are expected and others not. This study aims at... more
Exogenous application of chelators towards enhancing heavy metals extraction efficiency of bioenergy crop has received considerable attention in recent time. However, little is known about optimal application rate, comparative evaluation... more
Models developed for solute transport vary in their assumptions on macropore continuity and tortuosity. It is unclear how much simplification can be made in computer models to characterize macropore effects on water and solute transport... more
Advances in our understanding of the fate and transport of bacteria introduced into aquifers, including the potential use of genetically engineered bacteria for biorestoration, are highlighted by new findings in the following areas:... more
This essay follows the Nachleben of Kairos in five steps: semantics and rhetoric, Kairos and ekphrasis, Kairos iconography as chronotopos, Kairos iconography as pseudomorphosis, and finally some Kairotic elements in the Annunciation. Not... more
Methods to predict the bioaccumulation potential of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are sorely needed, given the proliferation of these substances and lack of data on their properties and behavior. Here, we test whether... more
Watershed hydrologic processes and water quality is significantly influenced by changes in land use land cover (LULC) and climate change. Changes in rate of Interception, evapotranspiration (ET), infiltration, and runoff have impacts on... more
