Wastewater reuse is currently considered globally as the most critical element of sustainable
water management. The dissolved effluent organic matter (dE f OM) present in biologically …

The biotic ligand model (BLM) is a mechanistic approach that greatly improves our ability to
generate site-specific ambient water quality criteria (AWQC) for metals in the natural …

The acute toxicity of CuO and ZnO nanoparticles in artificial freshwater (AFW) and in natural
waters to crustaceans Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus and protozoan …

Metal nanoparticles have distinctly different chemical and physical properties than currently
investigated oxides. Since pure metallic nanoparticles are igniting at air, carbon stabilized …

EPA recognized that metals present unique risk assessment issues, and saw the need to
develop a framework document that puts forth key scientific principles for metals risk …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface waters affects the fate and environmental effects
of trace metals. We measured variability in the Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn affinity of 23 DOM samples …

Environmental Context. The chemical speciation of trace metals greatly influences their
biological effects. Nonetheless, no clear consensus currently exists as to when metal …

Since the early 2000s, biotic ligand models and related constructs have been a dominant
paradigm for risk assessment of aqueous metals in the environment. We critically review 1) …

Chemical pollution is one of the major threats to global freshwater biodiversity and will be
exacerbated through changes in temperature and rainfall patterns, acid–base chemistry …

An extension of the simultaneously extracted metals/acid‐volatile sulfide (SEM/AVS)
procedure is presented that predicts the acute and chronic sediment metals effects …
