A hydrophobic metal‐organic framework (UHMOF‐100) is grown on a quartz crystal microbalance sensor for the first time. The device enables real‐time, selective detection of monoaromatic BTEX pollutants in water, demonstrating a new strategy for creating robust chemical sensors for challenging environmental monitoring applications.

Bioelectrochemical treatment of oil sands process‐affected water: A comparative study
Comparative Efficiency of microbial fuel cell, microbial electrolysis cell, and microbial electrosynthesis cell systems for oil sands process‐affected water treatment. Abstract In this study, removal of dissolved organic carbon and naphthenic acids (NAs) from oil sands process‐affected water (OSPW) was evaluated in flow‐through microbial fuel cell (MFC)

Using pre-screening methods for an effective and reliable site characterization at megasites [PDF]
This paper illustrates the usefulness of pre-screening methods for an effective characterization of polluted sites. We applied a sequence of site characterization methods to a former Soviet military airbase with likely fuel and benzene, toluene ...
