Removal of benzotriazoles from domestic wastewater using Pleurotus ostreatus fungal pellets
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Removal of benzotriazoles from domestic wastewater using a fungal pellet reactor with Pleurotus ostreatus. The system effectively removed CBTR (70%), while BTR (19%), 5‐TTR (17%), and OH‐BTH (16%) showed moderate removal. Abstract Benzotriazoles are a group of persistent and mobile substances commonly found in aquatic environments due to inefficient ...

Chlorinated organic contaminants in breast milk of New Zealand women. [PDF]
, 1994 Breast milk samples from 38 women in New Zealand were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) as part of a World Health Organization ...

Use and Replaceability of Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1972 tEd. Note: This paper was given at the PCBs Conference reported in Issue number 1, April 1972, but was not ready for publication in that issue. Since it was submitted the Monsanto Company released PCBs production figures for 1960-1971 (Monsanto press release of November 30, 1971).

Rethinking Chlorine: Essential Chemical or Replaceable Risk?
ChemSusChem, EarlyView.Chlorine is essential for the production of plastics and pharmaceuticals but poses significant safety and environmental risks. Herein, processes are presented that substitute chlorine or reduce its demand. Where indispensable, trichloride‐ and bichloride‐based ionic liquids could enhance safety and streamline the integration of renewable energy ...

Metabolism of 2,2',3,3',6,6'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 136) atropisomers in tissue slices from phenobarbital or dexamethasone-induced rats is sex-dependent. [PDF]
, 2013 1. Chiral polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) such as PCB 136 enantioselectively sensitize the ryanodine receptor (RyR). In light of recent evidence that PCBs cause developmental neurotoxicity via RyR-dependent mechanisms, this suggests that ...

ChemSusChem, EarlyView.Efficient Ni‐catalyzed hydrodehalogenations and deuterodehalogenations of aryl/heteroaryl halides are reported. This new technology applies to highly functionalized drugs and drug intermediates. The overall greenness is demonstrated via recyclability of the aqueous reaction media and associated overall low E‐Factors.

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...
