  11. Polychlorinated naphthalenes, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls in soils in an industrial park in Northwestern China: Levels, source apportionment, and potential human health risks

    • Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety

    • Author(s): Chenyang Xu, Jicheng Hu, Jing Wu, Baokai Wei, Zhenlei Zhu, Liwen Yang, Tingting Zhou, Jun Jin Seventeen soil samples collected in an industrial park located in Ningxia Province, Northwestern China were analyzed for polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The PCN, PCDD/F, and PCB concentration ranges were 183–3340, 7.00–215, and 45.1–355 pg/g, respectively.

  12. Microbial Community Composition in Deep‐Subsurface Reservoir Fluids Reveals Natural Interwell Connectivity

    • Water Resources Research

    • The identification of natural fractures and the wells they connect is crucial for the development of geological reservoirs because it may have an important impact on reservoir model construction and hydraulic fracture propagation. In this study we investigated the use of a novel data source, the microbial community composition in the reservoir formation fluids, for identification of interwell connectivity caused by natural fractures.

  13. Organochlorine Pesticides Residues in Blood of Peridomestic Populations of Virginia Opossum ( Didelphis virginiana ) from Ex-Henequen Rural Localities of Yucatan, Mexico

    • Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

    • Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been used for many decades, both for the control of pests in agriculture and for the control of vectors of human and animal diseases. Several recent studies have reported significant concentrations of these compounds in multiple environmental substrates due to their persistence, as well as the effect they have on ecosystem health, human health, and wildlife populations.

  14. Study on a Biomimetic Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Rapid Detection of Flumequine in Animal Foods

    • Food Analytical Methods

    • Flumequine (FLU) is widely used as an antibiotic in the treatment and control of animal diseases, which may result in the presence of residues harmful to humans in food products of animal origin. A novel and fast biomimetic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BELISA) was developed for the determination of FLU based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a selective affinity agent.

  15. Dissipation Kinetics of Hexaconazole and Lambda-Cyhalothrin Residue in Soil and Potato Plant

    • Potato Research

    • The dissipation behaviour and left-over residues of Hexaconazole fungicide and Lambda-Cyhalothrin pesticide in potato plant and soil were analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). At fortified levels of 10, 100 and 500 μg/kg, the recoveries of Lambda-Cyhalothrin and Hexaconazole were in the range 81.66–93.25% and 76.11–93.92% with standard deviations of 0.87–8.13% and 0.88–7.68%, respectively.

  16. Effects of Walnut Leaves Biochars on Lead and Zinc Fractionation and Phytotoxicity in a Naturally Calcareous Highly Contaminated Soil

    • Water, Air, & Soil Pollution

    • The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of incorporating Walnut leaves (WL) and their biochars produced at three temperatures (200, 400, and 600 °C) on fractionation, availability and maize indices in a naturally calcareous highly contaminated soil of Central Iran. A pot experiment was conducted considering soils treated with 0, 0.5, 1, and 2% (w/w) of WL and their derived biochars.

  17. The heavy metal leaching property and cementitious material preparation by treating municipal solid waste incineration fly ash through the molten salt process

    • Waste Management & Research

    • This research investigated the heavy metal leaching property and cementitious material preparation by treating municipal solid waste incineration fly ash through the molten salt process. The results indicated that the heavy metal thermal evaporation of fly ash in the molten salt was related to molten salt composition, heat treatment temperature and atmosphere.
