Complex microbial communities in environmental systems play a key role in the
detoxification of chemical contaminants by transforming them into less active metabolites or …

In this study, we investigate the effect of feed concentration and recovery on the rejection of
pesticides with NF/RO membranes. There is a discrepancy between laboratory studies …

Groundwater is the main source for drinking water production globally. Groundwater
unfortunately can contain micropollutants (MPs) such as pesticides and/or pesticide …

Pesticides application on agricultural fields results in pesticides being released into the
environment, reaching soil, surface water and groundwater. Pesticides fate and …

The aim of this work was to study and to model the biodegradation of atrazine and 2, 4-
dichlorophenoxy acetic acid by aerobic mixed cultures. Slow removal rates were observed …

This study investigated methods for predicting the duration and impact on groundwater
quality from persistent and mobile organic compounds (PMOCs) at a drinking water well …

Groundwater extracted for drinking water production is commonly treated by aeration and
sand filtration. However, this simple treatment is typically unable to remove pesticide …

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are persistent mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds
produced by many common plant species. Health authorities recommend minimising human …

Pesticide pollution of surface water is a global threat to drinking water safety. The need for
improved drinking water treatment methods is discussed by using Brazil as a case study …

Surface runoff is one of the major pollution sources impacting the quality of the surrounding
waterbody. In this study, a highly-bioreactive top-layer soil incorporated with microorganism …
