Predicting the impacts of chemical pollutants on animal groups [PDF]
Chemical pollution is among the fastest-growing agents of global change. Synthetic chemicals with diverse modes-of-action are being detected in the tissues of wildlife and pervade entire food webs. Although such pollutants can elicit a range of sublethal

An integrated approach to indoor contaminant modelling [PDF]
Air pollutants are those chemicals that are not generally present in the atmosphere because of natural causes but are disseminated into the air by human activity. In most parts of Europe, outdoor pollutants are principally the products of combustion from

Synergistic effects of marine pollutants and microplastics on the destabilization of lipid bilayers [PDF]
The increasing production of plastic worldwide results in increasing amounts of plastic waste dumped into the oceans. Plastic waste is fragmenting into smaller pieces up to micro and nanoplastics, which may cross physiological barriers and affect the ...

Study on the cross-flow ultrafiltration of mixtures of macromolecular organic and inorganic salts
Ultrafiltration (UF) has been widely applied to water treatment in the past few decades, but severe membrane fouling is one of the most significant obstacles for its further development.

Influence of Electrolyte Concentration on Single-Molecule Sensing of Perfluorocarboxylic Acids
Perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) are an emerging class of persistent organic pollutants. During the fabrication process, it is unavoidable to form PFCA homologs or isomers which exhibit distinct occurrence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity.
