The endocrine active substances BPA, DBP and BP2 have estrogenic effects in the uterus. Proc and Lin were shown to be antiandrogenic. Whether other estrogen-regulated parameters like lipids, fat metabolism and hormones are also affected... more
The catalytic ozonation of fenofibric and clofibric acids and the herbicides atrazine and linuron was studied using titanium dioxide, alumina, and manganese oxide supported on activated alumina and on silica SBA-15. The organics studied... more
Soil treated with linuron for more than 10 years showed high biodegradation activity towards methoxy-methyl urea herbicides. Untreated control soil samples taken from the same location did not express any linuron degradation activity,... more
Evidence is available that some endocrine disruptors, acting as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), interfere with osteoblast differentiation and function. Therefore, we investigated whether 17beta-estradiol, bisphenol-A... more
The efficiency of a biopurification system, developed to treat pesticide contaminated water, is to a large extent determined by the chemical and hydraulic load. Insight into the behaviour of pesticides under different fluxes is necessary.... more
the two strains mineralized 31 to 62% of the added (ring-U-14C)diuron to 14CO2, depending on the initial diuron concentration and the cultivation conditions. The constructed consortium was used to initiate the degradation and... more
The spatial variability in the mineralisation rate of linuron... more
The effect of three phenyl urea herbicides (diuron, linuron, and chlorotoluron) on soil microbial communities was studied by using soil samples with a 10-year history of treatment. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used... more
A proteomic approach was used to explore the metabolism of the phenylurea herbicide linuron and 3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) in Variovorax sp. WDL1. This bacterium grows on linuron as sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy, while it... more
