Continental margin systems collectively receive and store vast amounts of organic carbon
(OC) derived from primary productivity both on land and in the ocean, thereby playing a …

Cl• and Cl2•–radicals contribute to the degradation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs)
such as pharmaceutical and personal care products and endocrine-disrupting chemicals …

Although halogen radicals are recognized to form as products of hydroxyl radical (• OH)

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a major scavenger of bromine radicals (eg, Br• and Br2•–
) in sunlit surface waters and during oxidative processes used in water treatment. However …

Background The deep sea harbors the majority of the microbial biomass in the ocean and is
a key site for organic matter (OM) remineralization and storage in the biosphere. Microbial …

Marine sediments are a major sink of organohalide pollutants, but the potential for offshore
marine microbiota to transform these pollutants remains underexplored. Here, we report …

Halogenated organic compounds, also termed organohalogens, were initially considered to
be of almost exclusively anthropogenic origin. However, over 5000 naturally synthesized …

Radical-induced disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation is drawing attention with increasing
applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Cl2•–represents one of the …
