A kinetic model for photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants in a thin-film TiO2 catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was developed to incorporate liquid-film transfer, adsorption, diffusion and photocatalytic reaction in a thin-film photocatalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCB in soils and estimated soil–air exchange fluxes of selected PCB congeners in the south of Sweden
TL;DR: PCB concentrations were studied in different soils to determine the spatial variation over a region of approximately 11 000 km(2), and PCB congener pattern was used to illustrate the spatial differences, as shown by principal component analysis (PCA).

Ciprofloxacin sorption by dissolved organic carbon from reference and bio-waste materials
Nadia Carmosini,Linda S. Lee +1 more
TL;DR: The potential for waste-derived DOC to enhance CIP transport would have been greatly overestimated using information derived only from reference humic materials, so DOC-facilitated transport should be considered in environmental fate assessments for amphoteric pharmaceuticals.

Bioaccumulation of organochlorines through a remote freshwater food web in the Canadian Arctic
TL;DR: In this paper, persistent organochlorines (OCs) were measured in water, sediment and biota from a remote lake in the Canadian Arctic to examine the bioaccumulation of atmospherically deposited OCs through a high-latitude freshwater food web.
