Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a widely used plasticizer in the manufacture of polymeric materials such as polyvinyl chloride, was studied in order to understand its fate and transport in complex environments such as ...

Pervious concrete pavement constitutes an efficient Best Management Practice (BMP) stormwater management solution, since it serves to manage surface runoff quantitative and qualitative characteristics at its earliest ...

In situ flushing for remediation of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) contaminated soil and groundwater is done by the injection of a solvent solution into the contaminated zone. The system is followed by downstream ...

Sustainable water treatment and technology need to be implemented for safe-drinking water. In Puerto Rico, some rural communities do not rely on the central systems operated by the water authority but have their own small ...

A handful of biochemical processes occur in aquatic environments. One of the problems that are mostly encountered in such environments is caused by excess nutrient input and subsequent algal bloom. A series of studies were ...

This research aims to develop and test a Point-of-Entry Cistern Purification Unit (POE-CPU) to guarantee water quality for household purposes, with an emphasis on turbidity, E. coli removal and minimal occurrence of ...

Physicomechanical characteristics and durability of the cement pastes containing fly ash (FA) and iron-oxide nanoparticles (NI) showed that workability was reduced with the FA addition, although it was counterbalanced when ...

A landfill is an engineered facility for the disposal of wastes. It is designed and operated to minimize public health and environmental impacts. However, land availability is the limiting factor for the operation and ...

Portland cement pervious concrete (PCPC) usage has increased due to its potential to reduce storm water runoff and related pollution. Partial Portland cement substitution by fly ash (FA) in concrete production has the ...

Water is one of the most important resources for human needs and, in some countries, the lack of potable and drinking water is a serious issue. For this reason, new infrastructure that increases water conservation and ...
