This chapter provides a review of the current state of knowledge on submarine groundwater
discharge (SGD) and the associated fluxes of nutrients, trace metals, microbes …

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is one of the 12 persistent organic pollutants (POPs) listed in
“Stockholm Convention”. It is hydrophobic, toxic and persistent in the environment. Due to …

High spatial variability in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides, such as DDTs, and polybrominated …

The abundance and speciation of iron in farmland soils may affect the environmental fate of
residual pesticides and their effects on soil N-cycling, which remains unclear. Herein, the …

This study focuses on the use of non-viable Aspergillus niger biomass, for the biosorption of
pentachlorophenol (PCP) from aqueous solutions. Various forms of the biomass-autoclaved …

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) has been used as a herbicide, biocide and preservative
worldwide since the 1930s and as a result, extensive and prolonged contamination exists …

We investigated how urban land uses influence soil accumulation of polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the urban green spaces composed of different vegetative cover …

An anaerobic incubation was launched with varying nitrate (1, 5, 10 and 20 mM exogenous
NaNO 3) and molybdate (20 mM Na 2 MoO 4, a sulfate-reducing inhibitor) additions to …

Waste dumping sites are considered as significant disposal pathway for waste contaminants
including pesticides. In the present study OCPs were analyzed in soils of waste dumping …

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and its byproduct hexachlorobenze (HCB) are two co-existing
persistent environmental chemicals, but their combined toxicity remains unclear. In this …
