Drinking motives, drinking restraint and drinking behaviour among young adults [PDF]

open access: yesAddictive Behaviors, 2010
Motives to drink alcohol are widely thought to be the proximal cognitive factors involved in the decision to consume alcohol beverages. However it has also been argued that the ability to restrain drinking may be a more proximal predictor of drinking behaviour.

Indications of recent warm and dry summers' impact on private wells for drinking-water supply in Germany: a review of press articles

open access: yesJournal of Water and Health, 2022
Climatic changes lead to seasonal droughts with declining groundwater levels, and – especially in rural regions – private wells in the upper aquifer might fall dry.

UV-activated permanganate process for micro-organic pollutant degradation: efficiency, mechanism and influencing factors

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2021
Ultraviolet-activated permanganate (UV/PM) process is a novel advanced oxidation process (AOP), but its application potential remains to be evaluated. This work investigates the degradation of refractory organic pollutant by UV/PM in terms of efficiency,

Inhibition of Phenol from Entering into Condensed Freshwater by Activated Persulfate during Solar-Driven Seawater Desalination

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Recently, solar-driven seawater desalination has received extensive attention since it can obtain considerable freshwater by accelerating water evaporation at the air–water interface through solar evaporators.

Noble gases in aquitard provide insight into underlying subsurface stratigraphy and free gas formation

open access: yesVadose Zone Journal, 2023
Biogeochemical gas production resulting in free gas phase formation can severely affect groundwater and solute transport in aquifers. Such gas–water interactions are important in aquifers affected by geogenic As, which are commonly associated with ...

Controlling Legionella pneumophila in Showerheads: Combination of Remedial Intervention and Preventative Flushing

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Shock chlorination and remedial flushing are suggested to address Legionella pneumophila (Lp) contamination in buildings or during their (re)commissioning. However, data on general microbial measurements (adenosine tri-phosphate [ATP], total cell counts [

Enhancement of micropollutant biotransformation by adding manganese sand in constructed wetlands

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Recent investigations have shown that the addition of manganese (Mn) sand to constructed wetlands (i.e., Mn-amended CWs) can improve the performance of organic micropollutants (MPs) removal. In addition to the direct oxidation and adsorption of Mn oxides,

Light-dominated selection shaping filamentous cyanobacterial assemblages drives odor problem in a drinking water reservoir

open access: yesnpj Clean Water, 2022
Filamentous cyanobacteria have substantial niche overlap, and the causal mechanism behind their succession remains unclear. This has practical significance since several filamentous genera are the main producers of the musty odorant 2-methylisoborneol ...

Global analysis and prediction of fluoride in groundwater

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
A global fluoride hazard prediction map was created using machine learning and over 400,000 fluoride measurements, this shows ~180 million people are potentially affected by chronic fluoride exposure worldwide, mostly in Asia and Africa.
