TL;DR: The "Taste and Odor Wheel" developed over the last 15 years has been updated to include new compounds identified in the eight classes of odorants, four tastes, and one mouth feel/nose feel category as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The high reduction of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC) concentrations between raw wastewater and effluent enables to satisfy the requirements of the Water Framework Directive for NP except in very critical situations where the dilution factor of the effluent in the river would be lower than 7.5%.

TL;DR: Some of the wastewater and surface water samples were found to exceed the effect-based trigger values for estrogenic and glucocorticoid activity, suggesting these environmental waters may pose a potential risk to ecosystem health, while the lack of bioassay activity and low detected chemical concentrations in the drinking water samples do not suggest a risk to human endocrine health.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate various distribution conditions that directly affect the production of tastes and odors, identify the chemical causes, and develop guidelines to help water utilities solve or prevent these types of problems.

TL;DR: The challenge faced by analytical chemists when trying to measure selected compounds representative of various classes of prescription and hospital drugs, including the antibiotics roxithromycin and sulfamethoxazole, is illustrated.
