Environmental pollutions and biodegradation

African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2012
Innumerable novel organic compounds were synthesized during the past few decades [1]. Many of these compounds are used today as pesticides. This usage is causing serious pollution of aquatic bodies and consequently the agricultural soil and the ecosystem. There is excessive exploitation of the earth’s petroleum reserves.

Introduction of Environmentally Degradable Parameters to Evaluate the Biodegradability of Biodegradable Polymers

PLoS ONE, 2012
Environmentally Degradable Parameter ((Ed)K) is of importance in the describing of biodegradability of environmentally biodegradable polymers (BDPs). In this study, a concept (Ed)K was introduced. A test procedure of using the ISO 14852 method and detecting the evolved carbon dioxide as an analytical parameter was developed, and the calculated (Ed)K ...

Biodegradability and the estimation of environmental concentration

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1979
Abstract In order to assess the environmental acceptability of a chemical we need to estimate both the lowest concentration at which it will cause adverse effects and the highest concentrations which are likely to be present in the environment.

Aerobic nonylphenol degradation and nitro-nonylphenol formation by microbial cultures from sediments [PDF]

, 2009
Nonylphenol (NP) is an estrogenic pollutant which is widely present in the aquatic environment. Biodegradation of NP can reduce the toxicological risk. In this study, aerobic biodegradation of NP in river sediment was investigated.
