The Science of The Total Environment · 2024-07-14 · 38 citations
articleOpen accessSenior authorBiosolids from municipal wastewater treatment contain many contaminants of emerging concern, including microplastics (MPs), per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pharmaceuticals and chemicals from personal care products (PPCPs). Many of these contaminants have very slow biotic or abiotic degradation rates and have been shown to have human and ecological health impacts. Application of biosolids to agriculture, a common disposal method, can result in extended environmental contamination. An…
Determination of household wastewater PFAS composition and concentrations via neighborhood sampling
Journal of Hazardous Materials · 2025-09-10 · 5 citations
articleSenior authorCorrespondingACS ES&T Water · 2024-07-02 · 5 citations
articleSenior authorCorrespondingIndustrial wastewaters with high concentrations of multiple classes of contaminants are challenging to treat and may require multistage treatment processes. This study aimed to develop and optimize a simple framework to simultaneously remove metals and nonmetals that commonly coexist in industrial wastewater. Based on a hypothesis that zerovalent iron (Fe0) will synergistically remove metals (with a more positive standard reduction potential than Fe2+/Fe0; E° = −0.44 V) and anions via interconne…
Determination of household wastewater PFAS composition and concentrations via sub-sewershed analysis
ChemRxiv · 2025-01-21
preprintOpen accessSenior authorPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in wastewater, challenging water reuse efforts. The PFAS in wastewater are contributed by industrial, commercial, and residential sewerage users. To date, very little is known about the composition and concentration of PFAS discharged by households. We addressed this important knowledge gap by analyzing 24-hour composite wastewater samples obtained for seven consecutive days from three residential sub-sewersheds upstream of wastewater tre…
