Emerging Chemicals and Analytical Methods

Emerging Chemicals and Analytical Methods (2006)

This review summarizes peer-reviewed literature related to analysis, occurrence, and fate of emerging chemical contaminants in the water environment. The review focuses on the following broad categories of emerging contaminants: pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs); endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), including hormones, surfactants, and plasticizers; and brominated flame retar...

Perfluorinated Chemicals: an emerging concern

Discovering Emerging Graph Patterns from Chemicals

Analytical Methods

Despite the large relative mass difference between different Ca isotopes, the isotopic variability of Ca in natural materials is relatively small. Consequently, high-precision Ca isotope analyses are required to accurately resolve Ca isotope fractionation prior to data interpretation. This chapter summarises techniques which are successfully used to digest samples and to purify different types ...

Analytical methods for nanomaterial characterization

In recent years, it has become evident that it is necessary to systematically and accurately define particle characteristics in order to understand the potential toxicity of nanoparticles to biological systems. The properties that need to be emphasized are size, shape, dispersion, doping, aggregation, functionalization, physical and chemical properties, surface area, and surface chemistry. Rout...
