Synthetic microfibers: Pollution toxicity and remediation.
Published in Chemosphere
The ever-increasing use of domestic washing machine by urban population is playing a major role in synthetic microfibers (SMFs) pollution via entering the ecosystem. Although many of the sources of fragmented plastic pollution in oceanic environments have been well known, urban areas are playing a major contributor due to huge populations. Thousand...
Remediation of mercury contaminated soil, water, and air: A review of emerging materials and innovative technologies.
Published in Environment international
Mercury contamination in soil, water and air is associated with potential toxicity to humans and ecosystems. Industrial activities such as coal combustion have led to increased mercury (Hg) concentrations in different environmental media. This review critically evaluates recent developments in technological approaches for the remediation of Hg cont...
A review on remediation of cyanide containing industrial wastes using biological systems with special reference to enzym...
Published in World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology
Cyanide is a nitrile which is used extensively in many industries like jewelry, mining, electroplating, plastics, dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and coal coking. Cyanides pose a serious health hazard due to their high affinity towards metals and cause malfunction of cellular respiration by inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase. This i...
State of the art and future challenges for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is sediments: sources, fate, bioavailability...
Published in Journal of hazardous materials
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are amongst the most abundant contaminants found in the aquatic environment. Due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity, their sources, fate, behaviour, and cleanup techniques have been widely investigated in the last several decades. When entering the sediment-water system, PAH fate is determined by particula...
Decision support for large-scale remediation strategies by fused urban metabolism and life cycle assessment
Purpose: This paper seeks to identify the most environmental friendly way of conducting a refurbishment of Broendby Strand, with focus on PCB remediation. The actual identification is conducted by comparing four remediation techniques using urban metabolism fused with life cycle assessment (UM-LCA) in combination with information relating to cost a...

A comparison of technologies for remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils
Soil contamination with persistent and potentially (eco)toxic heavy metal(loid)s is ubiquitous around the globe. Concentration of these heavy metal(loid)s in soil has increased drastically over the last three decades, thus posing risk to the environment and human health. Some technologies have long been in use to remediate the hazardous heavy metal...
