Characterization of low-temperature plasmas generated by dielectric barrier discharges for bacterial inactivation
Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) at atmospheric pressure hold great promise for disinfection and sterilization applications. When compared to traditional sterilization technologies like autoclaving, LTPs may offer several benefits, including reduced energy c ...
EPFL2024Metabolic, cellular and defense responses to single and co-exposure to carbamazepine and methylmercury in Dreissena polymorpha
Carbamazepine (CBZ) and Hg are widespread and persistent micropollutants in aquatic environments. Both pollutants are known to trigger similar toxicity mechanisms, e.g. reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Here, their effects were assessed in the zebr ...
2022Bioaccessibility, bioaccumulation and effects of tire-associated chemicals for aquatic and soil-dwelling organisms
Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are produced by the friction between the tires and road and consist of polymer-containing tread with pavement encrustations. There are many data gaps remaining regarding their fate and potential toxicological impact on t ...
2022Impact of wastewater on the microbial diversity of periphyton and its tolerance to micropollutants in an engineered flow-through channel system
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play an important role in retaining organic matter and nutrients but to a lesser extent micropollutants. Therefore, treated wastewater is recognized as a major source of multiple stressors, including complex mixtures of ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants contamination in river, estuary, and marine sediments from Atlantic Coast of Democratic Republic of the Congo
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean
The pollution assessment and the evaluation of potential risks in the Atlantic Coastal Region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are still very limited. Consequently, the present study investigates for the first time the concentrations of heavy metals ...
Springer2020D35-TiO2 nano-crystalline film as a high performance visible-light photocatalyst towards the degradation of bis-phenol A
Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Lin Yang, Xue Bai
Dye-sensitized photocatalytic suspension system for wastewater treatment is still limited in practice due to particle aggregation, fast charge carrier recombination, poor stability and recycling issue. In this study, we combine TiO2 nano-crystalline film w ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2019Adaptation of waterborne echovirus to warm habitats enhances disinfection resistance
Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann
Because of their high mutation rate, enteric virus populations excreted from a host are not clonal, but rather consist of a mutant cloud with many different genetic variants. Among these variants, the susceptibility to environmental stressors (e.g., temper ...
2019The Role of Environmental Variables in Waste Stabilization Ponds' Morphodynamics
In management of helminth infections and transmission, the correct prediction of sludge accumulation patterns in waste stabilization ponds (WSP) is important as sedimented eggs are associated with sludge depth. However, sedimentation in WSP is complicated ...
2019Fate of Cr(III) during ozonation of secondary municipal wastewater effluent
Urs von Gunten, Caroline Gachet Aquillon
In the present study, the fate of trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) during ozonation of ultrapurified water and wastewater effluent was investigated. In experiments conducted in phosphate buffered ultrapurified water, O3 alone in excess was inefficient to oxidi ...
2018European demonstration program on the effect-based and chemical identification and monitoring of organic pollutants in European surface waters
Kristin Schirmer, Juliane Hollender, Anita Orsolya Hidasi, Kevin Thomas, Melis Muz
Growing concern about the adverse environmental and human health effects of a wide range of micropollutants requires the development of novel tools and approaches to enable holistic monitoring of their occurrence, fate and effects in the aquatic environmen ...
