Contaminant degradation in water
Environmental Science & Technology, 1985This paper describes the process by which heterogeneous photocatalysis is used for the study of the degradation of chloromethanes, bromomethanes, chloroethanes, chloroethylenes and bromoethylenes, chlorobenzene, and chloroacetic acids in dilute aqueous solutions. Rate equations are presented for each of the halocarbons.

AbstractThis chapter discusses water contaminants that may contribute to the human cancer burden. Specifically, it addresses the epidemiologic evidence for several contaminants and includes information on their levels and environmental distribution, as well as individual susceptibility, where data exist.

Remediation of waters contaminated with pentachlorophenol
Chemosphere, 2003We describe a simple method of remediating waters contaminated with pentachlorophenol (PCP), which involves filtering the water through clean soil. The filtrate is contaminant free and no PCP can be extracted from the soil. If the soil it treated with dilute acid, the filtrate is still contaminant free but 28.7% of the PCP can be extracted from the ...

Humans have long recognized the hazards of microbial contamination of drinking water. Only since the 1960s, however, have epidemiologic studies systematically examined whether naturally occurring and/or manmade pollutants in drinking water affect cancer risk.

Preconcentration of contaminants in water analysis
Journal of Chromatography A, 2000Among the environmental areas, in this review attention will be focused on water matrices and both on organic (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, phenols, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), inorganic species and anion pollutants, since these kinds of substances include a wide number of compounds with different physical and chemical properties and different ...

Abstract This chapter describes water contamination and wastewater treatment. It reviews the current state of water availability and water quality globally. It describes types of surface water contaminants including metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury, pesticides such as atrazine, industrial chemicals including PCBs and PBDEs ...

The Postattack Water-Contamination Problem
Health Physics, 1962Contaminating conditions, fallout levels, internal-dose criteria, the early radioiodine ingestion problem, and the effectiveness of various water decontamination processes are discussed. Dose calculations indicate that the problem of a fallout-contaminated water supply will not be severe in most cases.

Contaminated Wounds: Fresh Water, Salt Water, and Agricultural Contamination
Current Trauma Reports, 2018This review focuses on the appropriate management of contaminated wounds sustained in the freshwater, saltwater, and agricultural settings. While these wounds can be associated with polymicrobial pathogens and infections, Aeromonas spp. and Mycobacterium marinum are commonly seen in fresh water wounds, while Vibrio vulnificus is a common pathogen in ...

Pharmaceuticals as priority water contaminants
Toxicological & Environmental Chemistry, 2010Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites can reach water bodies through sewage systems, industrial discharges, effluents from sewage treatment plants (STPs), aquaculture, and livestock farming. Pharmaceuticals include a hundred substances which are very different as regards chemical-physical properties and environmental behavior, although they may have ...
