Competitive kinetics of adsorption onto activated carbon for emerging contaminants with contrasting physicochemical properties.

Activated carbon (AC) can be used for the removal of emerging contaminants (e.g., drugs) in water and wastewater treatment plants.

Long-term ecotoxicological effects of ciprofloxacin in combination with caffeine on the microalga .

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is an antimicrobial "pseudo-persistent" in aquatic ecosystems. Once dispersed in the water compartments, it can also affect the microalgae. Thus, the evaluation of its long-term ecotoxicological effects is necessary.
