Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A lattice and surface engineering strategy was employed to synthesize a novel core‐shell nanomaterial for superior reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene. In this design, FeNi serves as the core and FeS as the shell. Core composition and shell properties interactively determine materials’ performance, and the optimal material exhibited 242.7‐fold ...

Bacterial Metabolism of Polychlorinated Biphenyls [PDF]
Microbial Physiology, 2008 Microbial metabolism is responsible for the removal of persistent organic pollutants including PCBs from the environment. Anaerobic dehalogenation of highly chlorinated congeners in aquatic sediments is an important process, and recent evidence has indicated that <i>Dehalococcoides</i> and related organisms are predominantly responsible for

Use of Desulfovibrio and Escherichia coli Pd-nanocatalysts in reduction of Cr(VI) and hydrogenolytic dehalogenation of polychlorinated biphenyls and used transformer oil [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND Desulfovibrio spp. biofabricate metallic nanoparticles (e.g. ‘Bio-Pd’) which catalyse the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) and dehalogenate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Desulfovibrio spp.

Assessing the ability of white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls using predictive mycology [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of the present study was to assess the ability of different white-rot fungi to tolerate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using predictive mycology, by relating fungal growth inhibition to ligninolityc enzyme secretion.

Occurrence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Humans
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1972 In 1967 the Human Monitoring Survey (1) was established by the Pesticides Program of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now, Division of Pesticide Community Studies, E.P.A.) to determine on a national scale the levels and trends of certain more commonlyused pesticide chemicals in the general population.
