In our paper (Xue et al. 2019), we calculated the BCF based on the dry weight of common
carp. Kim et al.(2019) stated that wet weight, instead of dry weight, should be used in the …

Concentration, distribution, fate, removal efficiencies, daily and seasonal variations of
volatile methylsiloxanes (VMS) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were reviewed in …

Silicone materials are used in a wide variety of consumer/industrial products and process
aids. Disposal to wastewater treatment is the primary source of entry for silicones (primarily …

This study aimed to contribute to the enhancement of the knowledge of levels, trends and
behaviour of eight siloxanes (four linear and four cyclic) in the environment. Adding to the …

Methylsiloxanes (MSs) are widely used in industrial production and have attracted much
attention due to their potential health risks to humans. MSs are present in emissions from …

Cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) have high volatility and high lipophilicity and they are
identified as potential global pollutants that are widely distributed in the environment. In this …

The environmental fate ofoctamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and
decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) during municipal wastewater treatment has been …

Comprehensive studies on emerging contaminants like volatile methyl siloxanes in settled
dust from different micro-environments are still limited. In this study, concentrations and …

(VMS) in surface media (soils, vegetation, phytoplankton, and krill) from the Antarctic, which
they attribute to long-range atmospheric transport and deposition by snow scavenging. Their …
