Nowadays, microplastic has been detected in many environmental samples, including
aquatic and terrestrial environments. However, few studies recently have addressed their …

Drinking water is one of the primary sources of microplastic exposure in humans. However,
the extent to which microplastics in drinking water contribute to overall human health …

Microplastics (MPs) have been found in many packaged food products such as salt, tea
bags, milk, and fish. In a previous study by this group, MPs were found to leach into hot …

Natural organic matter (NOM) is the primary precursor of disinfection by-products (DBPs).
However, as emerging environmental contaminants continue to increase in natural waters …

Sensitive high-throughput analytic methodologies are needed to quantify microplastic
particles (MPs) and thereby enable routine monitoring of MPs to ultimately secure animal …

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are a concern due to their presence in chlorinated
wastewater, sewage treatment plant discharge, and surface water, and their potential for …

The multi-pathway cancer risk (CR) assessment of trihalomethanes (THM) involves
considering exposure via ingestion, dermal contact, and inhalation. Inhalation occurs during …

Around the world, coastal groundwater is increasingly subject to seawater intrusion (SWI).
The quality and characteristics of such waters differ from those of surface and groundwater …

A typical component of polymer waste is polystyrene (PS) used in numerous applications,
but degraded only slowly in the environment due to its hydrophobic properties. To increase …

Abstract Ein typischer Bestandteil von Polymerabfällen ist Polystyrol (PS), das in zahlreichen
Anwendungen eingesetzt wird, aufgrund seiner hydrophoben Eigenschaften in der Umwelt …
