Evidence is accumulating that sorption of organic chemicals to soils and sediments can be
described by “dual-mode sorption”: absorption in amorphous organic matter (AOM) and …

Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill has spurred significant amounts of
researches on fate, transport, and environmental impacts of oil and oil dispersants. This …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being
discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based …

This study examined the environmental behaviour and fate of polyfluoroalkyl compounds
(PFCs) found in water, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and sediment. The sampling of …

The emission of black carbon is known to cause major environmental problems. Black
carbon particles contribute to global warming, carry carcinogenic compounds and cause …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are nearly ubiquitous contaminants of freshwater
and marine sediments. Sediment PAHs are derived from combustion of organic matter, fossil …

Spatial distribution of chlorinated hydrocarbons [chlorinated pesticides (CPs) and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)] and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was …

The coastal region off Macao is a known depositional zone for persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) in the Pearl River Delta and Estuary of southern China and an important gateway for …

Charcoal is found in water, soil, and sediment where it may act as a sorbent of organic
pollutants. The sorption of organic compounds to natural solids often shows hysteresis. The …
