Article Synopsis
- Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are new pollutants being used as substitutes in aquatic environments, but there hasn't been a thorough nationwide assessment of their presence and sources.
- A study monitored the occurrence of 11 target OPEs across various sampling sites, finding that 10 were present, with the highest levels found for TBOEP and TCIPP, which are crucial for evaluating overall OPE pollution.
- The research also identified several antioxidant transformation products and other OPEs, highlighting that major contamination often occurs near specific discharge points, and providing valuable information for future regulatory efforts in managing these pollutants in Korean waters.
Despite the wide applications of end member mixing analysis (EMMA) for assigning the sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic environment, there was no study attempting to test the applicability of EMMA for predicting environmental reactivity of DOM. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of EMMA, or the concept of ideal mixing behavior of end members, for describing several well-known DOM reactivities using two DOM end member sources (i.e.

In consequence, this study was designed to explore the effects of BC amendment on the copper (Cu) binding properties of compost-derived humic substances (HS). To this end, unamended and 4.
