TLDR
The results showed that paraxanthine, caffeine and acetaminophen were the main individual pollutants usually found in concentrations over 20 ppb, and the hydroxyl radical reaction was the major pathway for the oxidative transformation of these compounds.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Environmentally oriented models and methods for the evaluation of drug × drug interaction effects.
TL;DR: This detailed review compares known and widely used methods for drug interaction estimation, some of which now have historical significance and application form/way of entering the living organism is of great importance as well as the age and the place in the trophic system of the organism.

A comparative study on the degradation of phenylurea herbicides by UV/persulfate process: Kinetics, mechanisms, energy demand and toxicity evaluation associated with DBPs
Fan Lai,Fu-Xiang Tian,Bin Xu,Ye Wenkai,Yu-qiong Gao,Chen Chen,Xing Haibo,Bo Wang,Meng-Jiao Xie,Hu Xiaojun +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation performance of selected phenylurea herbicides (isoproturon and chlorotoluron) by UV/persulfate (PS) as well as toxicity assessments associated with disinfection by-products (DBPs) in subsequent oxidation were comparatively studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hybrid computational intelligence approach for bioremediation of amoxicillin based on fungus activities from soil resources and aflatoxin B1 controls
Maryam Mohammadi,Mohammad Gheibi,Amir Mohammad Fathollahi-Fard,Mohammad Eftekhari,Zahra Kian,Guangdong Tian +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a hybrid computational intelligence approach to do optimization for mechanical and biological aspects and to predict the behavior of bio-engine's effective mechanical features in an intelligent way.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate and transport of fragrance materials in principal environmental sinks.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a systematic information on how fragrance materials are transferred to the environment, how do they affect human lives, and what is their fate in water, wastewater, wastewater sludge, and soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of bisphenol A and trichlorophenol from aqueous solutions by adsorption with organically modified bentonite, activated carbon composites: A comparative study in single and binary systems
TL;DR: In this article, three adsorbents have been developed by encapsulation of organo-activated bentonite (OAB), activated carbon (AC) and organo activated bentonite/activated carbon in cross-linked alginate beads (A) with the aim of using them in the removal of bisphenol A (BPA) and 2.5-trichlorophenol (TCP).

Occurrence of drugs in German sewage treatment plants and rivers
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of 32 drug residues belonging to different medicinal classes like antiphlogistics, lipid regulators, psychiatric drugs, antiepileptic drugs, betablockers and β 2 -sympathomimetics as well as five metabolites has been investigated in German municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) discharges, river and stream waters.
