Adsorbable organic halogens in contaminated water environment: A review of sources and removal technologies

Recovery, regeneration and sustainable management of spent adsorbents from wastewater treatment streams: A review

“…Of these micropollutants, polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins (PCDDs) and furans (PCDFs), adsorbable organic halogens (AOX), and di-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) are frequently reported in wastewater streams (Hwang et al, 2012, Zolfaghari et al, 2014. These compounds enter sewerage systems through various sources, such as domestic sewage discharges, stormwater and agricultural runoff, livestock wastes, and industrial effluents (Xu et al, 2020).…”

Sustainable development of perovskite solar cells: keeping a balance between toxicity and efficiency

“…121 AOX has been shown or suspected to be a carcinogen that exhibits cytotoxic and genotoxic properties. [157][158][159] Moreover, AOX can bioaccumulate in the food chain or spread over long distances through water bodies (runoff, evaporation, and rainfall), and thus toxic reactions can occur in humans without direct contact. Consequently, stringent AOX emission policies have been implemented worldwide.…”

“…Consequently, stringent AOX emission policies have been implemented worldwide. 157 Treatment options for AOX-containing waters are now relatively mature (Fig. 5c).…”

Experimental and Numerical Simulation Analyses of Flame Spread Behaviour over Wood Treated with Flame Retardant in Ancient Buildings of Fuling Mausoleum, China

“…Halogen and phosphorus-based flame retardants are primarily regarded as the most effective coatings to prevent wood from igniting [22]. Although this kind of flame retardant has many shortcomings [23,24], it is currently the most effective flame retardant for wood in ancient Chinese buildings.…”
