The chlorinated acetates monochloroacetate (MCA), dichloroacetate (DCA), and trichloroacetate (TCA) are generated in water disinfection processes and are formed during metabolic detoxification of industrial solvents such as trichloroethylene. In order to test for consequences of an exposure of brain cells
It has become increasingly recognized that polymer particle size can have a profound effect on the interactions of particle-based vaccines with antigen presenting cells (APCs) thereby influencing and modulating ensuing immune responses. With the aim of developing chitosan particle-based immunocontraceptive
Most halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) are toxic and persistent, and their efficient destruction is currently a challenge. Here, we proposed a sulfite/UV (253.7 nm) process to eliminate HOCs. Monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) was selected as the target compound and was degraded
For the first time, haloacetic acids and aromatic acetic acids were extracted from wastewater samples using electromembrane extraction (EME). A thin layer of toluene immobilized on the walls of a polypropylene membrane envelope served as an artificial supported liquid membrane
There is concern about possible effects of disinfection by-products on reproductive outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal exposure to chlorination by-products and the risk of delivering a small for-gestational-age (SGA) neonate. We conducted
