Positive relationship detected between soil bioaccessible organic pollutants and antibiotic resistance genes at dairy farms in Nanjing, Eastern China
(Elsevier, 2015-11-30)Abstract Co-contaminated soils by organic pollutants (OPs), antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been becoming an emerging problem. However, it is unclear if an interaction exists between mixed ... -
Impact of bioaccessible pyrene on the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes during Sphingobium sp.-and sophorolipid-enhanced bioremediation in soil
(Elsevier, 2015-12-30)Abstract Soils are exposed to various types of chemical contaminants due to anthropogenic activities; however, research on persistent organic pollutants and the existence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is limited. ... -
Feasibility of an enhanced washing process to extract PBDEs/heavy metals/antibiotics from antibiotic resistance gene-affected soil with aqueous DNA followed by mi...
(2016-03-01)Abstract Purpose Remediation of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs)/heavy metals/antibiotics mixed contaminated soil with high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has being greatly challenging. Materials ... -
Fate processes of chlorobenzenes in soil and potential remediation strategies: A review
(Elsevie, 2017-06-30)Abstract Chlorobenzenes (CBs) are a group of organic pollutants that pose a high environmental risk due to their toxicity, persistence and possible transfer in the food chain. Available data in literature show that CBs ... -
Function of Nitrate Ion and Tea Saponin Application Rates in Anerobic PAH Dissipation in Paddy Soil
(2016-06-01)Abstract In the present study, KNO 3 and tea saponin (TS) were applied to investigate systematically the potential impact of their concentrations on dissipation of anerobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ... -
The mechanism of 2-chlorobiphenyl oxidative degradation by nanoscale zero-valent iron in the presence of dissolved oxygen
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-11-08)It has recently been demonstrated that the addition of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) to oxygen-containing water or soil aquifers results in the oxidation of organic compounds. However, there has been little insight ...
