Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remain a major health and environmental concern decades after their ban. Explore their sources, exposure pathways, and key EPA detection methods.

FTIR and Raman spectroscopy have their limits in microplastic analysis. Thermal desorption, pyrolysis, and GCxGC-TOFMS provide more detailed information about sample composition.

A study involving RECETOX reveals that soils can re-emit polycyclic aromatic compounds into the air. In Finland, these emissions may rival those from industry, household heating and traffic.

CXI TUL researchers tested in situ chemical oxidation to remediate benzene contamination after the Hustopeče nad Bečvou train accident and identified the most suitable treatment for field use.

The HYMNA project combines MBR and MBBR technologies with nanofiber biomass carriers to improve ammonia nitrogen removal and enable modular wastewater treatment.

Micro-Snyder column or nitrogen blowdown? Explore the advantages, limitations, and EPA applications of two widely used concentration techniques for environmental and trace analysis.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a growing challenge for environmental laboratories. Discover how GC-HRAM MS and non-targeted screening help identify both regulated and previously unknown contaminants.

This study develops a GC-APCI-MS/MS method for detecting large PAHs in pyroplastics, identifying potential markers of burned plastic pollution.

Francais Femi Oloy discusses PCB monitoring in Nigerian rivers, including GC-ECD analysis, liquid–liquid extraction, sample cleanup, and challenges in trace pollutant detection.

How precise concentration of QuEChERS extracts helps laboratories meet EU Regulation 396/2005 requirements in pesticide residue analysis.
