Sunshine and a pinch of tropical soils: A natural, low-cost photo-Fenton variation for safer water, assisted by H2O2 or percabonate
César Pulgarin, Michaël Bensimon, Stefanos Giannakis, Thomas Guillaume, Jérémie Decker
Clean water is essential for human survival, but access to safe drinking water remains a challenge in resource -limited regions. Herein, we explored a low-cost but effective solution for water potabilization using natural iron sources from soils along with ...
ELSEVIER2023Development of an Automated Total Nitrosamines (TONO) Analyzer
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Minju Lee, Woongbae Lee, Yun Ho Lee
Formation of N-Nitrosamines in water and wastewater treatment is of concern due to their high carcinogenic potency, e.g., N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is estimated to be several hundred times more potent than the regulated trihalomethanes in drinking wate ...
2022Participatory research to monitor lake water pollution
Luc Patiny, Carlos Vivar Rios, Rachel Aronoff
A participatory research team, concerned about water quality around Lake Geneva, particularly in the Montreux Bay region where some were lifeguards, ran sampling campaigns to determine summertime levels of lake water pollution. The participants were brough ...
WILEY2021Technical note: Evaluation of a low-cost evaporation protection method for portable water samplers
Automated field sampling of streamwater or precipitation for subsequent analysis of stable water isotopes (H-2 and O-18) is often conducted with off-the-shelf automated samplers. However, when water samples are stored in the field for days and weeks in ope ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2020Assessment of the breakthrough of micropollutants in full-scale granular activated carbon adsorbers by rapid small-scale column tests and a novel pilot-scale sampling approach
Urs von Gunten, Juliane Hollender
This study aimed to compare three approaches for predicting the service life of full-scale GAC adsorbers for the removal of micropollutants. The approaches included (i) rapid small-scale column tests (RSSCTs), (ii) two pilot-scale sampling approaches, and ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Recent patterns of discharge and sediment output of the Gorner Glacier, Switzerland
Recent climate change is causing rapid retreat of alpine glaciers around the globe. As ice melts and glaciers thin, glacier motion and subglacial processes will change. One of the most relevant aspects for down-valley environments, settlements and infrastr ...
2020The Demographics of Water: A Review of Water Ages in the Critical Zone
The time that water takes to travel through the terrestrial hydrological cycle and the critical zone is of great interest in Earth system sciences with broad implications for water quality and quantity. Most water age studies to date have focused on indivi ...
2019Assessment of water resource contamination by pesticides in vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie, Morgan Fargues
This study proposes a comprehensive approach to investigate water resource contamination by pesticides under the specific climatic and hydrological conditions of the Sudano-Sahelian climate. Samples were collected from tradi- tional wells, boreholes, and a ...
2018Dietary risk assessment of pesticides from vegetables and drinking water in gardening areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann
Vegetables and water samples have been collected around the lake of Loumbila in Burkina Faso. Pesticides resi- dues in food commodities were analyzed using a modified QuEChERS extraction method prior analysis on GC-MS and UPLC-MS/MS of 31 pesticides. Maxim ...
Elsevier2017Molecular-level characterization of curved water interfaces with sum frequency and second harmonic scattering
Aqueous interfaces are omnipresent in nature. Some of them are visible: droplets in clouds, aerosols, and surfaces of oceans, lakes, and rivers. Many more surfaces are hidden: water in contact with cell membranes, proteins, and the surface of droplets in e ...
