Journal ArticleDOI
High-performance liquid chromatography method for the characterization of rhamnolipid mixtures produced by pseudomonas aeruginosa UG2 on corn oil.
TL;DR: A HPLC method was developed to quantify rhamnolipid species in a bacterial biosurfactant mixture and to confirm the reliability of theHPLC method, the biosurfacts mixtures and the HPLC isolated species were further analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of Triclocarban, Triclosan and Methyltriclosan during wastewater and biosolids treatment processes.
TL;DR: The decrease in TCS levels associated with observed increased levels of MeTCS in secondary and nitrification-denitrification processes providing evidence of TCS biotransformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrazine Photolysis: Mechanistic Investigations of Direct and Nitrate-Mediated Hydroxy Radical Processes and the Influence of Dissolved Organic Carbon from the Chesapeake Bay
TL;DR: Direct and nitrate-mediated hydroxy radical photoprocesses were examined with respect to atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino s-triazine) transformation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration of nonylphenol from plastic containers to water and a milk surrogate.
Jorge E. Loyo-Rosales,Georgina C. Rosales-Rivera,Anika M Lynch,Clifford P. Rice,Alba Torrents +4 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the amounts of NP leaching into milk might be similar to those in bottled water, and attempts to measure these compounds in tap water were unsuccessful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolysis of chlorpyrifos in natural waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
TL;DR: P pH alone cannot be used as a single parameter to predict hydrolysis under field conditions, and the influence of copper concentration, and other water constituents, need to be further evaluated as they may emerge as independent predictors to assess the fate of pesticides in natural systems.
