Linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) can be found in high concentrations in sewage sludge and, hence, may enter the soil compartment as a result of sludge application. Here, LAS may pose a risk for soil-dwelling organisms. In the present probabilistic risk assessment, statistical extrapolation has been used to assess the risk of LAS to soil ecosystems. By use of a log-normal distribution model,...

The association between protists, bacteria, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in an oxygen-depleted, 6 km-long wastewater contaminant plume within a sandy aquifer (Cape Cod, MA) was investigated by comparing abundance patterns along longitudinal and vertical transects and at a control site. Strong linear correlations were observed between unattached bacterial abundance and DOC for much of the ...

An 86-year-old man, admitted for transarterial chemoembolization of a hepatoma, developed fever and acute renal failure following the procedure. He was given antibiotic therapy and oral calcium polystyrene sulfonate (30g daily) for hyperkalemia. After 1 week, the patient developed bilious vomiting with abdominal pain. An abdominal X-ray disclosed diffuse dilatation of the small bowel (●" Fig.1)...

Abstract The R&D results of new tellurium-loaded liquid and plastic scintillators (TeLS TePS) for the experiments on search neutrinoless double beta decay are presented. Linear alkylbenzene polystyrene used as a scintillation base TeLS TePS, respectively. Diphenyltellurium di-2-ethylhexanoate complex compound diphenyltellurium oxide di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid proposed tellurium-contai...
