Journal ArticleDOI
Antidepressants and their metabolites in municipal wastewater, and downstream exposure in an urban watershed
Chris D. Metcalfe,Shaogang Chu,Colin Judt,Hongxia Li,Ken D. Oakes,Mark R. Servos,David M. Andrews +6 more
TL;DR: The present study illustrates that data are needed on the distribution in the aquatic environment of both the parent compound and the biologically active metabolites of pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of the TBARS assay in detecting oxidative stress in white sucker (Catostomus commersoni) populations exposed to pulp mill effluent.
Ken D. Oakes,Glen Van Der Kraak +1 more
TL;DR: This study indicates oxidative stress could be a mechanism of toxicity in fish exposed to pulp mill effluent and demonstrates the utility of TBARS in delineating zones of exposure to pulpmill effluent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct writing on paper of foldable capacitive touch pads with silver nanowire inks.
TL;DR: A simplified model to predict touch pad capacitance variation ranges with differing touch conditions was developed, with good agreement against experimental results, and holds promise for numerous commercial applications including low-cost portable devices where ultrathin and lightweight features, coupled with reliable bending stability are desirable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal growth of free standing TiO2 nanowire membranes for photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals.
TL;DR: Porous, porous TiO(2) membranes, while effective for mechanical microfiltration, can also photocatalytically degrade pharmaceuticals such as trimethoprim under UV irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of solid-phase microextraction for in vivo laboratory and field sampling of pharmaceuticals in fish.
TL;DR: SPME demonstrated several important advantages such as simplicity, sensitivity, and robustness under laboratory and in vivo field sampling conditions and was evaluated in wild fish collected from a number of different river locations under varying degrees of influence from municipal wastewater effluents.
