Expansion of the Analytical Window for Oil Spill Characterization by Ultrahigh Resolution Mass Spectrometry: Beyond Gas Chromatography

Traditional tools for routine environmental analysis and forensic chemistry of petroleum have relied almost exclusively on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), although many compounds in crude oil (and its transformation products) are not chromatographically ...

Effects of Surface Charge and Hydrophobicity on Anodic Biofilm Formation, Community Composition, and Current Generation in Bioelectrochemical Systems

The focus of this study was to investigate the effects of surface charge and surface hydrophobicity on anodic biofilm formation, biofilm community composition, and current generation in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). Glassy carbon surfaces were modified ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - 6 hours ago]

Bioconcentration of Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids: How Important Is Specific Binding?

Perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) are important global pollutants with unique pharmacokinetics. Evidence is accumulating that their behavior within organisms is affected by interaction with a number of proteins. In mammals, serum albumin, fatty acid ...

Responses of Aquatic Insects to Cu and Zn in Stream Microcosms: Understanding Differences Between Single Species Tests and Field Responses

Field surveys of metal-contaminated streams suggest that some aquatic insects, particularly mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and stoneflies (Plecoptera), are highly sensitive to metals. However, results of single species toxicity tests indicate these organisms ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 18 2013]

Historical Records of Mercury, Lead, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Depositions in a Dated Sediment Core from the Eastern Mediterranean

Depth profiles of mercury, lead and its stable isotopes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined in a dated sediment core from the Levantine basin. Sedimentary records show that preindustrial fluxes and levels of Hg, Pb, and PAHs remained ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 18 2013]

Kinetics of Homogeneous and Surface-Catalyzed Mercury(II) Reduction by Iron(II)

Production of elemental mercury, Hg(0), via Hg(II) reduction is an important pathway that should be considered when studying Hg fate in environment. We conducted a kinetic study of abiotic homogeneous and surface-catalyzed Hg(0) production by Fe(II) under ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 17 2013]

Overlapping Photodegradable and Biodegradable Organic Nitrogen in Wastewater Effluents

Photochemical degradation of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in final effluent of trickling filter and activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) was studied. Inorganic N, mostly nitrite, was produced from the photodegradation of DON for samples ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 17 2013]

Role of Black Carbon Electrical Conductivity in Mediating Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) Transformation on Carbon Surfaces by Sulfides

Recent research has demonstrated that black carbons catalyze the transformation of a range of nitrated explosives sorbed to the carbon surfaces in the presence of sulfides. Although surface oxygenated functional groups, particularly quinones, and electrical ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 15 2013]

Rapid Assessments of Metal Bioavailability in Marine Sediments Using Coelomic Fluid of Sipunculan Worms

A suitable test organism for assessing the bioavailability of sediment-bound metals should accumulate metals mainly from the sediment instead of other sources such as water. The deposit-feeding sipunculan worms, which indiscriminately ingest sediment ... [Published Environmental Science & Technology - Jun 14 2013]
