Considerations for Addressing Problematic Compounds in Vapor Intrusion Evaluations
ABSTRACT Vapor intrusion (VI) investigations involve the performance of environmental assessments for the potential presence of vapor‐forming chemicals in groundwater, soil, exterior and interior (sub‐slab) soil vapor, and indoor air. VI‐decision‐making is generally guided by simple comparisons of detected concentrations to media‐specific screening ...

Investigation into Trihalomethanes in Lager Beers Brewed in Ghana [PDF]
Water is a vital ingredient in beer constituting 91-98% of the content. In Ghana, the main source of water for the two major breweries in the city of Accra is from the Ghana Water Company which takes its source from the Weija Dam and the quality of the ...

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.

Fenton Treatment of Filter Backwash Water for Recycling in DWTP
The graphical abstract illustrates the treatment and recycling pathway of filter backwash water (FBW) generated in drinking water treatment plants. The proposed treatment innovatively applies the Fenton advanced oxidation process, using the iron naturally present in the FBW, with a sedimentation step for effective clarification. ABSTRACT Drinking water

Ships’ Ballast Water Treatment by Chlorination Can Generate Toxic Trihalomethanes [PDF]
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce a new abundance-based performance standard for ballast water in September, 2017. Strong oxidants, like chlorine, have been proposed as a method for achieving this standard.
