Quantifying the Total and Bioavailable Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Dioxins in Biochars
Sarah E. Hale,Johannes Lehmann,David W. Rutherford,Andrew R. Zimmerman,Robert Thomas Bachmann,Victor Shitumbanuma,Adam O'Toole,Kristina L. Sundqvist,Hans Peter H. Arp,Gerard Cornelissen,Gerard Cornelissen +10 more
TL;DR: No clear pattern of how strongly PAHs were bound to differentBiochars was found based on the biochars' physicochemical properties, and total concentrations were below existing environmental quality standards for concentrations of PAhs in soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive overview of elements in bioremediation
TL;DR: The various in situ and ex situ bioremediation techniques are discussed and elaborate on the anaerobic digestion technology, phytoremediations, hyperaccumulation, composting and biosorption for their effectiveness in the biotreatment, stabilization and eventually overall remediation of contaminated strata and environments.

Review of fly ash inertisation treatments and recycling
Annalisa Zacco,Laura Borgese,Alessandra Gianoncelli,Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis,Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis,Laura E. Depero,Elza Bontempi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review paper is addressed to FA typology, composition, treatment, recycling, functional reuse and metal and organic pollutants abatement, focusing on the chemical or physical potentials of FA constituents.

TL;DR: The potential of plasma technologies is discussed in this paper, where economic trends are anticipated together with research needs, and the community of plasma scientists strongly believes that more exciting advances will continue to foster innovations and discoveries in the first decades of the 21st century, if research and education will be properly funded and sustained by public bodies and industrial investors.

State of the evidence 2017: an update on the connection between breast cancer and the environment
TL;DR: Evidence from epidemiological studies, as well as a better understanding of mechanisms linking toxicants with development of breast cancer, all reinforce the conclusion that exposures to these substances – many of which are found in common, everyday products and byproducts – may lead to increased risk of developing breast cancer.

TL;DR: Concern was expressed about direct application of the TEF/total toxic equivalency (TEQ) approach to abiotic matrices, such as soil, sediment, etc., for direct application in human risk assessment as the present TEF scheme and TEQ methodology are primarily intended for estimating exposure and risks via oral ingestion.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the TEF concept is still the most plausible and feasible approach for risk assessment of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons with dioxinlike properties.
