The contamination of the urban water cycle (UWC) with a wide array of emerging organic
compounds (EOCs) increases with urbanization and population density. To produce …

Contamination of aquatic systems by synthetic organic contaminants and emerging
pollutants poses significant public and environmental health risks in developing countries …

Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic
zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding …

An increasing number of organic micropollutants (OMP) is detected in anthropogenically
influenced water cycles. Source control and effective natural and technical barriers are …

The competitive impacts of different fractions of wastewater treatment plant effluent organic
matter (EfOM) on organic micro-pollutant (OMP) adsorption were investigated. The …

Eight commercially available powdered activated carbons (PAC) were examined regarding
organic micro-pollutant (OMP) removal efficiencies in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) …

Abstract Anthropogenic Trace Compounds (ATCs) that continuously grow in numbers and
concentrations are an emerging issue for water quality in both natural and technical …

Activated carbon is investigated as adsorptive barrier for organic micropollutants (OMP)
within the Berlin water cycle. In a pilot plant using granular activated carbon (GAC) as upper …

Contamination of rivers by trace organic compounds (TrOCs) poses a risk for aquatic
ecosystems and drinking water quality. Spatially-and temporally varying environmental …

PAC adsorption is a widespread option for the removal of organic micropollutants (OMP)
from secondary effluent. For an optimal exploitation of the adsorption capacity, PAC …
