Such acidic precipitation (“acid rain”) has acted to markedly lower the pH of lake and river water in large areas of North America and Europe. Natural rainwater has a pH of about 5.6 because some atmospheric CO2 dissolves in it to form the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid); but both ...
Sampling vessels were acid-washed and deionized water-rinsed thoroughly in the laboratory before the field sampling. Samples for analyzing major cations and trace elements were filtered into 100 mL high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles and acidified to pH < 2 by using 6 mol/L purified-HNO3. ...
Twentieth-century approaches to protecting drinking water supplies cannot keep pace with the ever-expanding set of chemicals that humans emit into the environment. However, with recent advances in bioassays, the measurement of complex chemical mixtures,
A further reduction in the acid concentration to 10 (pH = 2) and 5 (pH = 2.3) mM resulted in a null demulsification within the first hour, but when demulsification time was extended to 24 h, about 39 and 17% demulsification extents were obtained using 10 and 5 mM H2SO4, respectively...
Depending on pH, bromides reacting with active chlorine form hypobromous acid (HOBr) or hypobromite anion (OBr–) [45–47], which are nothing more than active bromine. They react with organic compounds to form the corresponding organobromine products. Moreover, HBrO/BrO– is much more active...
The national distribution of groundwater iodine is profiled in terms of China’s three-ladder terrain24, characterized with descending elevation eastward from the first (>4000 m) at Qinghai-Tibet plateau, through the second (1000 ~ 2000 m) at northeast, southwest, and northwest China, to...
3. In this study, PLI values for all the sites of the Buriganga River are below 1 indicating the baseline pollution level while for the first site of Turag River the values are slightly greater than 1 during both seasons. PLI is an important helping tool to assess the quality of the ...

Serine-based β-lactamases of Class A, C and D all rely on a key water molecule to hydrolyze and inactivate β-lactam antibiotics. This process involves two conserved catalytic steps. In the first acylation step, the β-lactam antibiotic forms an acyl-en
