""This book explores current issues dealing with the occurrence, toxicology, and abatement of emerging contaminants. It also examines new technologies and developments in sample preparation and detection of contaminants in water resources."--

This Test guideline describes studies on phototransformation in water to determine the potential effects of solar irradiation on chemicals in surface water, considering direct photolysis only. It is designed as a tiered approach. The Tier 1 is based on a theoretical screen. The rate of decline...

The OECD Secretariat received almost simultaneously three proposals for an OECD Test Guideline on Direct Phototransformation in Water, i.e. aqueous photolysis. The purpose of this Guidance Document is to situate these proposals in a broad context consisting of the basic concepts of...

Chemical contamination of drinking water (including salinity) puts more than one billion people at risk of adverse health effects globally. Resource-constrained communities are the most affected and face unique challenges that require innovative safe water solutions. This review focuses on...

The paper deals with the use of the "memory effect" of a groundwater aquifer for the retrospective estimation of the sources of groundwater industrial pollution, and in order to obtain a reliable estimate of their impact on groundwater and surface water. It is shown that combination of the...

In this study, the removal of ammonia and phenol in saline chemical wastewater by radiation was investigated in detail. The results showed that chloridion in saline chemical wastewater could be transferred to •Cl and •ClO by radiation, which promoted ammonia oxidation, but inhibited phenol...
