Understanding soil selenium accumulation and bioavailability through size resolved and elemental characterization of soil extracts

Nature Communications, 2022
Selenium is essential for human health and mainly delivered via terrestrial foodstuffs. An advanced characterization of selenium chemical forms shows that organic matter increases its accumulation in soils but could limit its supply to ...

Evaluation of environmental factors and microbial community structure in an important drinking-water reservoir across seasons

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The composition of microbial communities varies in water and sediments, and changes in environmental factors have major effects on microbiomes. Here, we characterized variations in microbial communities and physicochemical factors at two sites in a large

Conquering the Outdoors with On-site Mass Spectrometry

CHIMIA, 2014
In recent years, mass spectrometers with a membrane inlet separating gases from water for final analysis have been used successfully for the on-site quantification of dissolved gases in surface waters.

The Drinking Water of Steamships [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1908
We intend to give in this paper a short account of (1) the laws concerning the supply of drinking water to ships in some of the chief civilised countries of the world; (2) the results of bacteriological examination of the water on steamships; (3) the chief deficiencies in supply and storage which have come under our notice, and (4) the reforms which we

Contamination and sources of polychlorinated naphthalenes in the surface sediments of Chaobai River, China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
In aquatic systems, sediment is both a sink for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and a potential source of POPs release. Consequently, it is important to understand the pollution characteristics and sources of polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) as ...

Hybrid Hollow Fiber Nanofiltration–Calcite Contactor: A Novel Point-of-Entry Treatment for Removal of Dissolved Mn, Fe, NOM and Hardness from Domestic Groundwater Supplies

Membranes, 2019
Groundwater (GW) is one of the main potable water sources worldwide. However, the presence of undesirable compounds and particularly manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) (mainly co-existing in GWs) are considered as objectionable components of potable water for ...

The Phragmites Root-Inhabiting Microbiome: A Critical Review on Its Composition and Environmental Application

Engineering, 2022
As widespread wetland plants, Phragmites play a vital role in water purification and are widely utilized in constructed wetlands (accounting for 15.5% of applied wetland plants) as a natural alternative to wastewater treatment.

Transient Potential Profiling for Rapid Calcium Ion Quantification: Eliminating Conditioning Time in Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrodes

Biosensors
Traditional solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SC-ISEs) are severely constrained by a long-standing thermodynamic bottleneck, which requires hours of pre-conditioning and stabilization to establish a stable phase-boundary potential. To fundamentally

Fungal Community as a Bioindicator to Reflect Anthropogenic Activities in a River Ecosystem

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The fungal community interacts with the ambient environment and can be used as a bioindicator to reflect anthropogenic activities in aquatic ecosystems. Several studies have investigated the impact of anthropogenic activities on the fungal community and ...
