Hydrated electron (eaq−) induced reduction processes are promising for reductive decomposition of recalcitrant organic pollutants, such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). In this work, effective defluorination of PFOS by eaq− was conducted in sulfite solution under UV irradiation. Results show that the defluorination efficiency of PFOS followed t...

The Edwards Aquifer in south central Texas (USA) features a distinct fault line defining the freshwater and saline water zones. We aim to elucidate the evolutionary behavior of carbon and sulfur emanating from deep environments and flowing in surficial environment so as to better understand the cycling of these metals in water environments. To char...

Water availability is becoming a challenge at coral islands; exposure to unknown quality groundwater to meet water requirements may put local communities at risk of infection by pathogens. The current study determines integration of water quality data, and risk prioritization and impact quantification due to measures like having sewer network shoul...

Water scarcity is one of the major problems in the world and millions of people have no access to freshwater. Untreated wastewater is widely used for agriculture in many countries. This is one of the world-leading serious environmental and public health concerns. Instead of using untreated wastewater, treated wastewater has been found more applicab...

This study identifies the basin scale factors and potential remedies to restore the severely polluted Hindon River in India, by comparing with another basin with high population density: the River Thames in the UK. Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved oxygen (DO) in the Thames River are usually around 8 mg/l and 7.5 mg/l respectively, whil...

The level of pollution and the variability of rainwater runoff quality collected in reservoirs next to the new Lublin bypass (south-eastern Poland) were assessed in this scientific paper. In the rainwater harvesting and treatment system, two types of reservoirs with different construction, size and presence of pre-treatment devices were used. Labor...

Road salt (NaCl) and acid deposition co-occur across much of North America and Europe. One such region is the Adirondack Park (AP) in New York, USA, where the effects of acid deposition have been widely studied and the effects of road salt have not. Road salt delivers 3560 Mmolc of Na to AP roads each year, which has significant potential to displa...

Sewage discharges constitute severe stress in freshwater ecosystems. The Ramalhoso River belongs to the Tagus River watershed and was chosen for a pilot study on the impact of wastewaters discharges in a freshwater ecosystem and its ability for self-depuration. Twelve water samples were collected along the river and were georeferenced. The first po...
