Abstract: Using high amounts of chlorine to disinfect contaminated natural waters for drinking purposes can produce an unpleasant taste and odor and contribute to the formation of toxic byproducts. These challenges can be addressed ...

Abstract: The transport of proteinate-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was evaluated in well-defined water-saturated Ottawa sand over a range of water chemistry conditions and sand particle sizes. AgNP retention in the columns ...

Abstract: Small watersheds in urbanizing and suburbanizing regions are an increasingly important element of the flood hazard problem in the United States and abroad. This paper presents a methodology to estimate flood response in ...

Abstract: The mineral surface of Wyoming bentonite was modified by replacing inorganic ions by different quaternary ammonium compounds of known molecular structure by an ion‐exchange process. The resulting organically modified ...

Abstract: Point-of-use water treatment (PoUWT) technologies have been shown to reduce incidences of waterborne diseases. However, their effectiveness is limited against the most harmful pathogens, such as protozoa and viruses, due ...

Abstract: Green stormwater infrastructure (GI) imitates the hydrology of undeveloped land to mediate the impacts of stormwater runoff, but research is lacking that characterizes the performances of different types of independent GI ...

Abstract: This research attempts to evaluate a previously developed model for predicting influent concentrations of prescription pharmaceuticals and understand why some drugs are more accurately predicted than others. It also ...

Abstract: Departments of Transportation (DOTs) rely heavily on chloride-based treatments for winter road maintenance despite the well-documented effects of these chemicals on infrastructure and the environment. Proposed alternative ...
