TL;DR: Overall, this study shows that inhibitory effects of ethanol and acetate are relatively short-lived, and demonstrates that monitored natural attenuation can be a viable option to deal with ethanol blend releases.

TL;DR: The aminoC(60)/silica photocatalyst is capable of effective and kinetically enhanced oxidation of Ranitidine and Cimetidine and inactivation of MS-2 bacteriophage compared to aqueous solutions of the C(60) aminofullerene alone and could enable water treatment in less developed areas by alleviating dependence on major infrastructure, including the need for electricity.

TL;DR: A critical review examines the current state-of-the-art in performance assessment methods and discusses future research directions as mentioned in this paper, which generally consists of three components: documented contaminant mass loss, geochemical fingerprints associated with biodegradation, and microcosm studies that show direct evidence of biode degradation.

TL;DR: Using ethanol instead of MTBE as a gasoline oxygenate could be less harmful to the environment as mentioned in this paper, which could be used as a substitute for MTBE in gasoline oxygenation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that oxygen-containing surface functionalities do not necessarily facilitate the biodegradation of carbonaceous nanomaterials, as is commonly assumed.
