Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake and transformation of trichloroethylene by edible garden plants
TL;DR: The ~4C label found in plant tissue could not be extracted into the organic solvent CS2 or into the inorganic solvent 10 N H2SO4, suggesting that TCE was taken up, transformed, and bound to plant tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of BTEX and their aerobic metabolites by indigenous microorganisms under nitrate reducing conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the catabolic capacity of indigenous microorganisms under nitrate reducing conditions was evaluated in batch incubations, seeded with four different aquifer materials, were used to survey the catabolism capacity of various microorganisms, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced graphene oxide enhances horseradish peroxidase stability by serving as radical scavenger and redox mediator
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effects of three commercially available graphene-based nanomaterials, namely a graphene, a graphene oxide, and a reduced graphene oxide (RGO), on the activity/stability of horseradish peroxidase.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that soil pyrolysis could be a viable thermal treatment to quickly remediate soils impacted by weathered oil while improving soil fertility, potentially enhancing revegetation.
Nanomaterials in the Construction Industry: A Review of Their Applications and Environmental Health and Safety
TL;DR: State-of-the-art applications of MNMs that improve conventional construction materials are reviewed, likely environmental release scenarios are suggested, and potential adverse biological and toxicological effects and their mitigation are summarized.
