Deriving Membrane−Water and Protein−Water Partition Coefficients from In Vitro Experiments for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Jan 7, 2025

The phospholipid membrane−water partition coefficients (KMW) and equilibrium binding affinities for human serum albumin (HSA) of 60 structurally diverse perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were evaluated through laboratory measurements and modeling to...

A New Toolbox for Managing Sites Impacted by Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPLs)

Sep 3, 2024

The Concawe LNAPL Toolbox is one of the first completely web-based tools for managing and remediating light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) impacted sites. An off-line downloadable version is also available for users who do not want to access it via the internet....

The impact of shipping on the air quality in European port cities with a detailed analysis for Rotterdam

Aug 12, 2024

Air quality in cities with large maritime ports is considerably impacted by emissions from shipping activity which is of a growing relevance due to an increasing relative contribution. To explore the extent of shipping emissions to ambient air quality, simulations...

Identification of Aerobic ETBE-Degrading Microorganisms in Groundwater Using Stable Isotope Probing

Jul 19, 2024

A limited number of microorganisms have been identified with the capability to degrade ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) in the environment. Knowledge of the identity and distribution of ETBE-degrading microorganisms is important for the implementation of management...

Assessing the robustness of Ozone Chemical Regimes to chemistry-transport model configurations

Apr 29, 2024

In a previous study, we assessed the efficiency of reducing either traffic or industrial emissions on various ozone metrics for several cities in Europe, based on the Air Control Toolbox surrogate model. Here, we perform various model parametrisation sensitivity...
