Effectiveness of biosurfactant for the removal of trihalomethanes by biotrickling filter

Engineering Reports, 2019
In this study, the biodegradation of a mixture of two trihalomethane (THM) compounds, chloroform (CF) and dichlorobromomethane (DCBM), was evaluated using two laboratory‐scale biotrickling filters (BTFs).

Bromoform exposure is associated with non-melanoma skin cancer: evidence from NHANES 2011–2020

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
BackgroundNon-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a prevalent skin malignancy. It has been indicated in many studies that trihalomethanes (THMs) exposure has a strong association with tumors but has not been associated with NMSC.

Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

Nanoborate Based Decontamination of Poultry Carcasses

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Nanoborate solutions are a promising alternative for decontamination of poultry carcasses. Compared to chlorine dioxide, nanoborate solutions‐treated carcasses consistently exhibited greater microbial control and approximately 50% longer shelf life. ABSTRACT Despite the implementation of strict biosecurity and food safety systems in broiler production,

Development of a simple analytical method for determining trihalomethanes in beer using a headspace solid-phase microextraction technique

Química Nova, 2013
We developed a simple, rapid, and solventless method for analyzing trihalomethanes in beer samples using headspace solid-phase microextraction. The effects of varying experimental parameters, such as extraction temperature and time, addition of sodium ...

Recent Advances in Piezocatalysis and Piezo‐Photocatalysis in Energy and Environment: Materials, Design, and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic technology utilizes mechanical strain or stress‐induced piezoelectric phenomena to produce robust internal electric fields, markedly improving the separation efficiency of e−‐h+ pairs. This method has emerged as a focal point in catalysis by removing reliance on conventional light or electrical energy via its mechanical‐to ...

Estimating Operational Costs of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment Plants by Predicting the Rise of Harmful Algal Blooms Under Climate Change in Korea Using Machine Learning

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated future operational costs in water treatment (WT) plants. Random forest modeling projected 3–5 times more abundant cyanobacteria by 2100 due to climate change. Increased microcystins demanded substantially more activated carbon and, as a result, WT costs could rise to $6–22/household/month.
