Organic contaminants in sewage sludge (biosolids) and their significance for agricultural recycling.

11 Oct 2009 Organic chemicals discharged in urban wastewater from industrial and domestic sources, or those entering through atmospheric deposition onto paved areas via surface run-off, are predominantly lipophilic in nature and therefore become concentrated in ... Read more...

Sustainable risk management of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewaters.

11 Oct 2009 The presence of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewaters, particularly endocrine-disrupting compounds such as oestrogenic substances, has been the focus of much public concern and scientific attention in recent years. Due to the scientific ... Read more...

Nutrition and bone growth in pediatrics.

30 Aug 2009 Children's growth is a hallmark of their normal development and the association between nutrition and linear growth in children is well accepted. Growth requires an adequate supply of many different nutritional factors, some form the "building ... Read more...
