EPI Suite: A Fascinate Predictive Tool for Estimating the Fates of Organic Contaminants
نویسنده
چکیده
The biodegradation probability program for Microsoft Windows (BIOWIN) models have been developed by the Syracuse Research Corp. (SRC) on behalf of the US EPA since the 1980s. Most BIOWIN models estimate the probability of rapid aerobic biodegradability. BIOWIN7 is the exception as it estimates the probability of rapid anaerobic biodegradability in the presence of heterogeneous microorganisms. Although BIOWIN consists of seven models, EPI Suite uses BIOWIN3 to estimate the fate of a chemical by default. The description of each BIOWIN model is as follows:

Sorption, degradation and leaching of pesticides in soils amended with organic matter: A review
The use of pesticides in modern agriculture is unavoidable because they are required to control weeds. Pesticides are poisonous; hence, they are dangerous if misused. Understanding the fate of pesticides will be useful to use them safely. Therefore, contaminations of water and soil resources could be avoided. The fates of pesticides in soils are influenced by their sorption, decomposition and m...

The ZnO/SiO2 semiconductor nanophotocatalysis was synthesized via sol-gel method. Also, theplatinum particles were loaded on the ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. Thestructure of catalyst was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) andfourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD patterns of ZnO particlesdisplayed the nanoparticles have ...
متن کاملConformation-Independent QSPR Approach for the Soil Sorption Coefficient of Heterogeneous Compounds
We predict the soil sorption coefficient for a heterogeneous set of 643 organic non-ionic compounds by means of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR). A conformation-independent representation of the chemical structure is established. The 17,538 molecular descriptors derived with PaDEL and EPI Suite softwares are simultaneously analyzed through linear regressions obtained with th...

Background and aims: For ensuring about proper performance of air-purifying respirators in providing protection against workplace contaminants, it is necessary to change the respirator cartridges before the end of their service life. The aim of this study was determination of service life of organic vapor cartridges using a simple and practical method in a spray painting booth of a car manufa...
متن کاملDetermination of Organic Sulfur Contaminants Using Hollow Fibre-protected Liquid-phase Micro-extraction Coupled with Gas Chromatography
A simple and solvent-minimized sample preparation technique based on hollow fibre-protected liquid-phase micro-extraction has been developed for extraction of fifteen organic sulphur compounds from aqueous samples. The analysis of the extracted them was performed by gas chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry and/or flame photometric detectors. 3.3 µL of organic solvent located in the lu...
