Krista Yorita Christensen et al.
Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 55(2), 198-208 (2012-11-14)
To evaluate the association between exposure to chlorinated solvents and cancer. We conducted a case-control study of occupational exposures and cancer in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, including 3730 cancer cases and 533 population controls. Occupational exposures were derived using a combination

Reductive dechlorination is a major degradation pathway of chlorinated ethenes in anaerobic subsurface environments, and reactive kinetic models describing the degradation process are needed in fate and transport models of these contaminants. However, reductive dechlorination is a complex biological process
Dusty R V Berggren et al.
Environmental science & technology, 47(4), 1879-1886 (2013-01-16)
Results are presented from a chemostat study where the reductive dehalogenation of PCE was evaluated in the absence and presence of sulfate. Two chemostats inoculated with the Point Mugu culture, which contains strains of Dehalococcoides mccartyi, were operated at a

Environmental science & technology, 46(20), 10918-10925 (2012-09-20)
Chlorinated ethenes (CEs) are ubiquitous groundwater contaminants, yet there remains a need for a method to efficiently monitor their in situ degradation. We report here the first field application of combined stable carbon and chlorine isotope analysis of tetrachloroethene (PCE)
Anika Reinhold et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 78(22), 8025-8032 (2012-09-11)
Corrinoids are essential cofactors of reductive dehalogenases in anaerobic bacteria. Microorganisms mediating reductive dechlorination as part of their energy metabolism are either capable of de novo corrinoid biosynthesis (e.g., Desulfitobacterium spp.) or dependent on exogenous vitamin B(12) (e.g., Dehalococcoides spp.).
