Assessing the presence of endocrine disruptors and markers of anthropogenic activity in a water supply system in northeastern Brazil

Preparation, characterization, and morphology insight of ZnO nanodisk–TiO2‐coated SWCNT thin film composites for catalytic sensor application

“…[7][8][9] The foreign component can capture the photo-induced charge carriers and consequently enhances the interfacial charge-transfer processes. 7,10,11 The pristine ZnO, TiO 2 , and ZnO/TiO 2 nanocomposite have been shown as improved visible lightdriven photocatalysis for phenolic, chlorophenol derivative compounds, [12][13][14][15] and salicylic-acid degradation. 16 However, the above reports mainly considered the coupled ZnO/TiO 2 with a simple core-shell structure (coated surface) or randomly adhered particles (sandwich type).…”

Electrochemical oxidation of diethyl phthalate at two dimensional graphite sheet electrodes: optimization and analysis of degradation in water with HRMS

“…Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) or phthalates, more commonly known as plasticizers, have been a worrying presence in the environment due to three important reasons: their ubiquitous, toxic and persistent nature to conventional wastewater treatment (Maynard et al 2019;Hubinger 2010). The increasing concentration of PAEs in the environment and their presence in the human body in various studies (Jeong et al 2020;weaver et al 2020) have caused the scienti c community to look for alternate treatment technologies such as advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for their removal from water and wastewater.…”

Electrochemical Detection of Bisphenol A by Tyrosinase Immobilized on Electrospun Nanofibers Decorated with Gold Nanoparticles

“…The continuous discharge of highly toxic chemicals in the aquatic environment is a global concern due to their adverse effects on human health and the environment [1,2]. Pollutants with endocrine-disrupting activity, in particular, may damage the endocrine system of animals (including humans), even at such low concentrations as ng L −1 [3][4][5]. Regulatory agencies have established safe exposure limits, which are often low because the hormone systems are sensitive to these compounds [6][7][8].…”
