TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wood-Derived Black Carbon (Biochar) as a Microbial Electron Donor and Acceptor
TL;DR: In this paper, a wood-derived black carbon (biochar) and the bacterium Geobacter metallireducens (GS-15) were used to investigate the role of biochar as a rechargeable reservoir of bioavailable electrons in anaerobic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of North American Bioreactor Landfills. II: Chemical and Biological Characteristics

TL;DR: This paper examined the performance of five North American bioreactor landfills and found that gas collection increases at bioreactors when the water content reaches 40% of the leachates were commingled from cells operating as a bio-actor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of plastics on fate and transport of organic contaminants in landfills.
TL;DR: Plastics in landfills are potential sinks of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) because of their higher affinity for HOCs compared to lignocellulosic materials and the slow desorption of H OCs from glassy plastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing methods to estimate emissions of non-methane organic compounds from landfills.

TL;DR: Results indicate the current USEPA approach for estimating NMOC emissions may overestimate speciated NMOC emission ⩾10× for many compounds, and alternative models were explored incorporating other chemical properties into the ratio method.
