Effect of chain length on the pyrolysis of perfluorocarboxylic acids

(Corresponding) Dixon L., Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Lucas J., Grimison C., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., (Corresponding) Kennedy E.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) are increasingly becoming the contamination issue of our time, due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and mounting evidence of their toxicity. Herein we examined the pyrolytic decomposition of a series of perfluorocarboxylic acids via the...Read more

Study on the fate of the chemical uncoupler 3,3′,4′,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCSA) in activated sludge process and investigation of its effects to different aquatic organisms

(Corresponding) Gatidou G., Hatzopoulos P., Chhetri R., Kokkoli A., Giannakopoulos A., Arvaniti O., Andersen H., Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
This study examines the biodegradation of 3,3′,4′,5-tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TSCA) by activated sludge and investigates its effects to different aquatic organisms. According to the experimental results, the fate of the target compound in activated sludge systems is governed by the mechanisms of...Read more

Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review

(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
