TL;DR: In this article, a series of surface waters, soils, and liquid manures from North Rhine-Westphalia (Northwestern Germany) were sampled and analyzed for up to 29 compounds by HPLC-MS/MS.

TL;DR: Skutlarek et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the presence of 12 perfluorinated surfactants (PS) in different surface and drinking waters and found that the concentrations in drinking waters decreased with the concentrations of the corresponding raw water samples along the flow direction of the Ruhr river.

TL;DR: It is concluded that most strains of A. versicolor isolated from carpet dust are able to produce sterigmatocystin in vitro and that sterigmatocrystin may occasionally occur in carpet dust from damp indoor environments.

TL;DR: In order to express engineered mersacidin peptides, a system in which the engineered gene replaces the wild-type gene on the chromosome was constructed and resulted in the mutant peptide F3L mers Acidin; this peptide showed only moderately reduced activity.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the presence of PFOS increases the endocrine potential of BPA could not be confirmed in zebrafish, and the decline in survival rates following PFOS-exposure seen over generations again documents the importance of long-term studies for the investigation of persistent environmental pollutants.
