The concentrations of U in natural waters are usually low, being typically less than 4 μg/L in
river water, around 3.3 μg/L in open seawater, and usually less than 5 μg/L in groundwater …

Co-contamination of the environment with toxic chlorinated organic and heavy metal
pollutants is one of the major problems facing industrialized nations today. Heavy metals …

Microalgae have been recognized as emerging cell factories due to the high value-added
bio-products. However, the balance between algal growth and the accumulation of …

Microalgae are a source of numerous compounds that can be used in many branches of
industry. Synthesis of such compounds in microalgal cells can be amplified under stress …

The toxicity of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) to human lung epithelial (A549) cells was
investigated in this study. CuO NPs (10–100 mg/L) had significant toxicity to A549 cells …

This is the first study investigating the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) to algae in the presence
of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Suwannee river fulvic acid (SRFA), a type of DOM, could …

The toxicity of TiO 2 engineered nanoparticles (NPs) to the marine microalga Nitzschia
closterium was investigated by examining growth inhibition, oxidative stress and uptake. The …

Forty percent of hazardous waste sites in the United States are co-contaminated with
organic and metal pollutants. Data from both aerobic and anaerobic systems demonstrate …

We describe a three step process for the removal of uranium (U) from dilute waste waters.
Step one involves the sequestration of U on, in, and around aquatic plants such as algae …

The potential adverse effects of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) have increasingly attracted
attention. Combining electron microscopic and toxicological investigations, we determined …
