Piezoelectric materials for catalytic/photocatalytic removal of pollutants: Recent advances and outlook
The accumulation of various contaminants in air, soil and water is threatening the natural environment. The remediation of the environmental contaminations is today an urge. Among the remediation methods employed, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Accumulation 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 ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2017Biodegradability of HCH in agricultural soils from Guadeloupe (French West Indies): identification of lin genes, involved in HCH degradation pathway
Banana has been a main agricultural product in the French West Indies (Guadeloupe and Martinique) since the 1960s. This crop requires the intensive use of pesticides to prevent attacks by insect pests. Chlorinated pesticides, such as hexachlorocyclohexane ...
Springer Heidelberg2016Metabolomics of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) transformation: ratio of LinA to LinB determines metabolic fate of HCH isomers
Although the production and use of technical hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and lindane (the purified insecticidal isomer -HCH) are prohibited in most countries, residual concentrations still constitute an immense environmental burden. Many studies describe t ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Changes in the Bacterial Community and lin Genes Diversity during Biostimulation of Indigenous Bacterial Community of Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) Dumpsite Soil
In this study hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) contaminated soil (with HCH level 84 g/kg of soil) from HCH dumpsite (Ummari village, Lucknow, India) was used to demonstrate biostimulation approach for HCH bioremediation. Different nutrients (molasses and ammoni ...
Springer Verlag2013Biochemistry of Microbial Degradation of Hexachlorocyclohexane and Prospects for Bioremediation
Christof Holliger, Vishakha Raina
Lindane, the gamma-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), is a potent insecticide. Purified lindane or unpurified mixtures of this and alpha-, beta-, and gamma- isomers of HCH were widely used as commercial insecticides in the last half of the 20th century ...
2010Proposal of biostimulation for hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-decontamination and characterization of culturable bacterial community from high-dose point HCH-contaminated soils
To locate a high-dose point hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated site, to identify HCH-degrading bacteria in it and assay HCH-decontamination by biostimulation. Methods and Results: Bacteria were isolated by serial dilution method from HCH-contaminate ...
