Microplastic pollution has attracted significant attention as an emerging global
environmental problem. One of the most important issues with microplastics is the leaching …

Farmland soils are prone to contamination with micro-and nanoplastics through a variety of
agricultural practices. Concerns are recurrently raised that micro-and nanoplastics act as …

In aqueous environments, hydrophobic organic contaminants are often associated with
particles. Besides natural particles, microplastics have raised public concern. The release of …

The use of low-density polyethylene (PE) sheets as equilibrium passive soil gas samplers to
quantify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and …

The freely dissolved concentration (C free) of hydrophobic organic chemicals in sediments
and soils is considered the driver behind chemical bioavailability and, ultimately, toxic …

There is a growing interest in assessing the concentration and distribution of new
nonregulated organic compounds (emerging contaminants) in the environment. The …

Superfund sites with sediments contaminated by hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs)
can be difficult to characterize because of the complex nature of sorption to sediments …

Activated carbon (AC) has been applied widely in water treatment as a strong sorbent for
organic contaminants and, more recently, in-situ treatment and capping for remediating …

Per‐and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an emerging class of compounds that cause
health and environmental problems worldwide. In aquatic environments, PFAS may …

The freely dissolved concentration of hydrophobic pollutants in sediment porewater (C pw)
