Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Demonstration of a High‐Resolution Passive Profiler for Characterizing the Distribution of PFAS in Groundwater: A Comparison of Methods in the Field

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Characterizing the concentration and mass flux spatial distributions at sites with complex hydrogeologic conditions is critical to evaluate the fate and transport of contaminants, as well as to design effective remediation programs. PFAS (per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances)‐contaminated sites are even more complex due to the large number of ...

In Situ Colloidal Activated Carbon for PFAS Remediation in Groundwater: Principles, Performance Expectations, and Lessons from the First Decade

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Injectable colloidal activated carbon (CAC) has been commercially used to remediate per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater since 2016. The basis of the technology is enhanced PFAS retention within the aquifer from engineered increases in aquifer‐matrix sorptivity (“PFAS enhanced retention”), with re‐equilibration from the ...

Electrochemical treatment of PFAS in fractionated foam

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Foam fractionation is emerging as a promising option to remove and concentrate PFAS from polluted water and soil resources. Here, we investigate the electrochemical treatment of foamate resulting from the simultaneous application of soil washing and foam

Asymmetric Regulatory Embeddedness and Post‐Brexit Governance: Explaining Adaptive Convergence in the United Kingdom

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Why has the United Kingdom repeatedly restored substantive compatibility with European Union (EU) regulatory norms despite formal withdrawal? This article introduces the concept of asymmetric regulatory embeddedness (ARE) to explain post‐membership governance in highly integrated sectors. ARE captures the structural condition in which a former

Melanoma and Other Melanistic Lesions in Brown Bullhead Ameiurus nebulosus From Waterbodies in the Northeastern United States and Canada: Identification of Risk Factors

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Melanistic lesions, including non‐raised black areas due to proliferations of melanocytes and melanomacrophages in the dermis and epidermis, as well as raised black areas consistent with melanoma, are described in brown bullhead (BBH) Ameiurus nebulosus from three water bodies in the northeastern United States and Quebec, Canada.
