TL;DR: The results suggest that effective passive air sampling volumes may not be representative across sites when PAHs significantly partitioning to the particulate phase are included.

A mechanistical model for the uptake of sulfonamides by bacteria
TL;DR: The pH-dependent intracellular accumulation of various sulfonamides correlates well with their observed antibiotic effect on selected bacteria and depends on the bacterial pH-regulation mechanisms.

Effects of compost biocovers on gas flow and methane oxidation in a landfill cover
TL;DR: Field observations were coupled to a numerical model to contrast the transport and attenuation of CH(4) emissions from these two cells and it was confirmed that lower emissions from the biocover were caused by blockage of the gas stream.

Cyclodextrin-Enhanced Solubilization and Removal of Residual-Phase Chlorinated Solvents from Porous Media
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of cyclodextrin, a glucose-based molecule, for solubilizing and removing residual-phase immiscible liquid from porous media was examined.
