Assessment of past dioxin emissions from waste incineration plants based on archive studies and process modeling: a new methodological tool

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Xiaocheng Zhang

Pollution from past industrial activities can remain unnoticed for years or even decades because the pollutant has only recently gained attention or identified by measurements. Modeling the emission history of pollution is essential for estimating populati ...

Molecular imine cages with π-basic Au3(pyrazolate) faces

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Noga Eren

One tetrahedral and two trigonal prismatic cages with π-basic Au3(pyrazolate)3 faces were obtained by connection of pre-formed gold complexes via dynamic covalent imine chemistry. The parallel arrangement of the Au3(pyrazolate)3 complexes in the prismatic ...

Chlorination of arenes via the degradation of toxic chlorophenols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xuemei Yang

Aryl chlorides are among the most versatile synthetic precursors, and yet inexpensive and benign chlorination techniques to produce them are underdeveloped. We propose a process to generate aryl chlorides by chloro-group transfer from chlorophenol pollutan ...

Monitoring of Priority Substances in Sediments of Switzerland

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Maria del Carmen Casado Martinez

In Switzerland, surface waters are protected by the Swiss Water Protection Ordinance (OEaux) which stipulates that the water quality shall be such that: "the water, suspended matter and sediments contain no persistent synthetic substances to ensure the pro ...

Occurrence of organic micropollutants and human health risk assessment based on consumption of Amaranthus viridis, Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean

The contamination of water resource and food chain by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitutes a major environmental and human health concern worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of POPs in irrigation water, soil and in Am ...

Heavy 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 ...

Accumulation of toxic metals and organic micro-pollutants in sediments from tropical urban rivers, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

The increasing contamination of fresh water resource by toxic metals and Persistence Organic Pollutants (POPs) is a major environmental concern globally. In the present investigation, surface sediments collected from three main rivers named, Makelele, Kala ...
