Evidence is accumulating that sorption of organic chemicals to soils and sediments can be
described by “dual-mode sorption”: absorption in amorphous organic matter (AOM) and …

We review the state of the art in using passive sampling technology for environmental
monitoring of waterborne organic and inorganic pollutants. We discuss strategies for …

Microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated to study the
influence of human activities and to find their possible relationship on the coastal …

The occurrence of 15 antibiotics classified as sulphonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolides,
tetracyclines and trimethoprim in sediment, overlying water, and pore water matrices in …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are amongst the most abundant contaminants
found in the aquatic environment. Due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity, their sources …

Remediation of contaminated soil and sediment is important for improving the eco-
environmental quality. Electro-kinetic remediation (EKR) is an environmentally friendly …

Polyethylene (PE)-water equilibrium partitioning constants, K PEw, were reviewed for trace
hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs). Relative standard deviations were< 30% for …

Research during the last decade has led to several competing concepts of bioavailability
and to many more methods to measure bioavailability. One reason for disagreement is the …

We reviewed compliance monitoring requirements in the European Union, the United
States, and the Oslo-Paris Convention for the protection of the marine environment of the …

Many important environmental contaminants are hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs),
