Modeling Active Capping Efficacy. 1. Metal and Organometal Contaminated Sedim...
Cd, Cr, Pb, Ag, As, Ba, Hg, CH3Hg, and CN transport through sand, granular activated carbon (GAC), organoclay, shredded tires, and apatite caps was modeled by deterministic and... -
System boundary selection in life-cycle inventories using hybrid approaches
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a method for evaluating the environmental impacts of products holistically, including direct and supply chain impacts. The current LCA... -
1,1-Dichloroethene as a Predominant Intermediate of Microbial Trichloroethene...
A microbial culture derived from a landfill site in Dover, DE consistently reduced trichloroethene (TCE) to ethene through 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE) as a dominant intermediate in... -
Prescribed Fire As a Means of Reducing Forest Carbon Emissions in the Western...
Carbon sequestration by forested ecosystems offers a potential climate change mitigation benefit. However, wildfire has the potential to reverse this benefit. In the western... -
Exergy: Its Potential and Limitations in Environmental Science and Technology
New technologies, either renewables-based or not, are confronted with both economic and technical constraints. Their development takes advantage of considering the basic laws of... -
Predicting Bioavailability of Sediment-Associated Organic Contaminants for <i...
Biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) were calculated for Diporeia spp. and oligochaete worms exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic... -
Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Cement Kiln Dust through Mineral Carbonation
Carbon sequestration through the formation of carbonates is a potential means to reduce CO2 emissions. Alkaline industrial solid wastes typically have high mass fractions of... -
Life-cycle assessment of biodiesel production from microalgae
International audience; This paper provides an analysis of the potential environmental impacts of biodiesel production from microalgae. High production yields of microalgae have... -
Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Export Across the Soil/Stream Interface and Its Fa...
The aim of this investigation was to determine the lateral export of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from soils of a Swedish boreal forest to a first order stream and to... -
Isotopic and Geochemical Assessment of in Situ Biodegradation of Chlorinated ...
Currently there is no in situ method to detect and quantify complete mineralization of chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) to CO2. Combined isotopic measurements in conjunction with... -
Bioaccumulation and Transport of Contaminants: Migrating Sockeye Salmon As Ve...
Biological transport by migratory animals is increasingly recognized as important to the long-range dispersal of toxic contaminants. Mercury (Hg) contamination is a widespread... -
Estimation of Atmospheric Emissions of Six Semivolatile Polycyclic Aromatic H...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic compounds that are ubiquitous in the atmospheric environ ment. The input for an emissions processing system that was originally... -
The Impact of Toxicity Testing Costs on Nanomaterial Regulation
Information about the toxicity of nanoparticles is important in determining how nanoparticles will be regulated. In the U.S., the burden of collecting this information and... -
An Examination of Existing Data for the Industrial Manufacture and Use of Nan...
This work examines the manufacture and use of nanocomponents and how they can affect the life cycle impact of resulting nanoproducts. Available data on the production of... -
Oxidation Kinetics of Selected Taste and Odor Compounds During Ozonation of D...
The applicability of ozonation to mitigate taste and odor problems in drinking water was investigated. Second-order rate constants of eleven taste and odor compounds with ozone... -
Parental Exposure to Pesticides and Poor Clutch Viability in American Alligators
In central Florida, alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) inhabiting lakes contaminated with organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) produce eggs that have high OCP concentrations... -
