Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking changes in the occurrence and source of pharmaceuticals within the River Thames, UK; from source to sea

TL;DR: Sucralose was found to be an excellent tracer of wastewaters (treated and untreated) and can be used as a proxy for many pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI

A baseline assessment of emerging organic contaminants in New Zealand groundwater.

TL;DR: The first baseline survey on EOC occurrence in New Zealand groundwater, using a wide-screening approach and a novel stratified to mean residence time (MRT) randomised design, demonstrated ubiquitous occurrence of unmonitored, unregulated EOCs in groundwater and limitations in using targeted approaches to establish monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging organic contaminants in groundwater under a rapidly developing city (Patna) in northern India dominated by high concentrations of lifestyle chemicals.

TL;DR: This study characterizes key controls on the distribution of groundwater EOCs across the urban to rural transition near Patna, as a rapidly developing Indian city, and contributes to the wider understanding of the vulnerability of shallow groundwater to surface-derived contamination in similar environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrochemical profiles in urban groundwater systems: New insights into contaminant sources and pathways in the subsurface from legacy and emerging contaminants.

TL;DR: This study shows that multiple tracers together with multi-level piezometers can give a better resolution of contaminant pathways and variable flow regimes within the relatively uncomplicated aquifer of the Sherwood Sandstone compared with single long screened wells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using chemical, microbial and fluorescence techniques to understand contaminant sources and pathways to wetlands in a conservation site

TL;DR: Attenuation of the nutrient concentrations in streams, in groundwater and in run-off inputs occurs within the site, restoring healthier groundwater nutrient concentrations showing that contaminant filtration by the sand dunes provides a valuable ecosystem service.
