Abstract Cometabolic biodegradation of 1, 4-dioxane (dioxane) in the presence of primary
substrates is a promising strategy for treating dioxane at environmentally relevant …

Dioxane is a highly toxic and carcinogenic pollutant found worldwide in groundwater and
soil environments. Several microorganisms have been isolated by their ability to grow on 1 …

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is known to induce the biodegradation of 1, 4-dioxane (dioxane), an
emerging contaminant, but the mechanisms by which THF affects dioxane biodegradation in …

Abstract Options for remediating 1, 4-dioxane at groundwater sites are limited due to the
physical-chemical properties of this compound. The relevance of natural attenuation …

Abstract Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) is a preferred remedy for sites contaminated
with 1, 4-dioxane due to its low cost and limited environmental impacts compared to active …

Dioxane is a pervasive and persistent contaminant in numerous aquifers. Although the
median concentration in most contaminant plumes is in the microgram per liter range, a …

Dioxane is an emerging organic pollutant with suspected carcinogenic effect. It is produced
as a by-product in several petrochemical-based industrial processes. It has also been …

At thousands of sites in the United States and elsewhere, contamination of groundwater by
1, 4-dioxane has persisted for decades (Adamson et al. 2015). In a survey of more than 200 …
