Effective solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in environmental field represents a crucial step
for the adequate extraction of several analytes. Several materials have been traditionally …

A generic theoretical framework is presented for describing the kinetics of uptake and
release of organic compounds that associate with plastic particles. The underlying concepts …

The combined effects of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and humic acid (HA) on the
bioaccumulation of cadmium (Cd) in Zebrafish were investigated. Experimental data on the …

In this study, the uptake of pyrene and benzo [b] fluoranthene by an aquatic worm
(Lumbriculus variegatus) and a poly (dimethylsiloxane) coated glass fiber was studied at …

The hypothesis that dissolved organic carbon (DOC) enhances the mass transfer of
hydrophobic organic compounds from nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) into the aqueous …

The accurate measurement of free analyte concentrations within complex sample matrixes
by pre-equilibrium solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has proven challenging due to …

This is a review of literature published in 2009 that covered issues related to the presence of
pesticides and herbicides in the environment. The review is divided into nine sections …

We present the kinetics of calibrant release and analyte uptake between the sample and
calibrant-loaded extraction phase, CL-EP, with a finite-element analysis (FEA) using …

The dynamic sorption of an organic compound by nanoparticles (NPs) is analyzed by solid-
phase microextraction (SPME) for the example case of the pharmaceutical diclofenac in …

The wide application of engineered nanomaterials, such as fullerene (C60), will inevitably
lead to their release into the aqueous environment, which may alter the bioavailability of …
