Metal-Organic Frameworks against Toxic Chemicals.

Chemical Reviews, 2020
Materials capable of the safe and efficient capture or degradation of toxic chemicals, including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), are critically important in the modern age due to continuous threats of these chemicals

Application of Experimental Polystyrene Partition Constants and Diffusion Coefficients to Predict the Sorption of Neutral Organic Chemicals to Multiwell Plates in in Vivo and in Vitro Bioassays.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2018
Sorption to the polystyrene (PS) of multiwell plates can affect the exposure to organic chemicals over time in in vitro and in vivo bioassays. Experimentally determined diffusion coefficients in PS ( DPS) were in a narrow range of 1.25 to 8.0 · 10-16 m2 ...

Trophic Magnification of Organic Chemicals: A Global Synthesis.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2016
Production of organic chemicals (OCs) is increasing exponentially, and some OCs biomagnify through food webs to potentially toxic levels. Biomagnification under field conditions is best described by trophic magnification factors (TMFs; per trophic level ...

Metal-organic frameworks for the removal of toxic industrial chemicals and chemical warfare agents.

Chemical Society Reviews, 2017
Owing to the vast diversity of linkers, nodes, and topologies, metal-organic frameworks can be tailored for specific tasks, such as chemical separations or catalysis.

Mechanisms of Slow Sorption of Organic Chemicals to Natural Particles

, 1996
The use of equilibrium expressions for sorption to natural particles in fate and transport models is often invalid due to slow kinetics. This paper reviews recent research into the causes of slow sorption and desorption rates at the intraparticle level ...

The American Synthetic Organic Chemicals Industry: War and Politics, 1910-1930

, 2014
Prior to 1914, Germany dominated the worldwide production of synthetic organic dyes and pharmaceuticals like aspirin. When World War I disrupted the supply of German chemicals to the United States, American entrepreneurs responded to the shortages and ...
