A New Method for Exposing Deposit Feeders to Contaminated Sediments for Food Chain Studies [PDF]
, 2017 (excerpt) The ubiquity and refractory nature of certain organic compounds, such as chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB\u27s), results in their accumulation in aquatic sediments (Holdrinet et al. 1978, Peck et al.

Native Phytoremediation Potential of Urtica dioica for Removal of PCBs and Heavy Metals Can Be Improved by Genetic Manipulations Using Constitutive CaMV 35S Promoter. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Although stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) has been shown to reduce HM (heavy metal) content in soil, its wider phytoremediation potential has been neglected.

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
, 2015 Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Bromine–lithium exchange: An efficient tool in the modular construction of biaryl ligands
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011 Regioselective bromine–lithium exchange reactions on polybrominated biaryls enable the modular synthesis of various polysubstituted biphenyls such as bis(dialkylphosphino)-, bis(diarylphosphino)- and dialkyl(diaryl)phosphinobiphenyls. All permutations of

Persistent organic pollutant burden, experimental POP exposure and tissue properties affect metabolic profiles of blubber from grey seal pups [PDF]
, 2018 Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are toxic, ubiquitous, resist breakdown, bioaccumulate in living tissue and biomagnify in food webs. POPs can also alter energy balance in humans and wildlife.

Lithium/Element Exchange as an Efficient Tool for Accessing Atropo-enriched Biaryls via Arynes
CHIMIA, 2016 This account documents the development of transition metal-free, aryne-mediated aryl-aryl coupling, the 'ARYNE coupling', which began in 2001 in Lausanne. ortho,ortho'-Di-, tri- and even tetrasubstituted biphenyls have now become accessible on a
