Identification of Dehalobacter reductive dehalogenases that catalyse dechlorination of chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethane.

Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond., B, Biol. Sci. 368(1616) , 20120318, (2013)

Two novel reductive dehalogenases (RDases) that are highly similar to each other but catalyse distinct dechlorination reactions were identified from Dehalobacter-containing mixed cultures. These two RDases were partially purified from crude protein extracts o...

A novel toxicogenomics-based approach to categorize (non-)genotoxic carcinogens.

Arch. Toxicol. 89 , 2413-27, (2015)

Alternative methods to detect non-genotoxic carcinogens are urgently needed, as this class of carcinogens goes undetected in the current testing strategy for carcinogenicity under REACH. A complicating factor is that non-genotoxic carcinogens act through seve...

The impact of chlorinated solvent co-contaminants on the biodegradation kinetics of 1,4-dioxane.

Chemosphere 91(1) , 88-92, (2013)

1,4-Dioxane (dioxane), a probable human carcinogen, is used as a solvent stabilizer for 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA) and other chlorinated solvents. Consequently, TCA and its abiotic breakdown product 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE) are common co-contaminants of diox...

Co-occurrence of 1,4-dioxane with trichloroethylene in chlorinated solvent groundwater plumes at US Air Force installations: Fact or fiction.

Integr. Environ. Assess. Manag. 8(4) , 731-7, (2012)

Increasing regulatory attention to 1,4-dioxane has prompted the United States Air Force (USAF) to evaluate potential environmental liabilities, primarily associated with legacy contamination, at an enterprise scale. Although accurately quantifying environment...

Removal of 1,1,1-trichloroethane from aqueous solution by a sono-activated persulfate process.

Ultrason. Sonochem. 20(3) , 855-63, (2013)

1,1,1-Trichloroethane (TCA), labeled as a priority pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of China, can be removed from groundwater by sonochemical oxidation. The sonochemical oxidation of TCA in the presence of persulfate (PS) showed a signif...

Simultaneous counter-flow of chlorinated volatile organic compounds across the saturated-unsaturated interface region of an aquifer.

Water Res. 44(7) , 2107-12, (2010)

Concentrations of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs) at the saturated-unsaturated interface region (SUIR; depth of approximately 18m) of a sandy phreatic aquifer were measured in two monitoring wells located 25m apart. The concentrations of the ...

Quantifying the effects of 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethane on chlorinated ethene reductive dehalogenases.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 45(22) , 9693-702, (2011)

Mixtures of chlorinated ethenes and ethanes are often found at contaminated sites. In this study, we undertook a systematic investigation of the inhibitory effects of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) on chlorinated ethene dec...

1,1,1-trichloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethane reductive dechlorination kinetics and co-contaminant effects in a Dehalobacter-containing mixed culture.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 43(17) , 6799-807, (2009)

1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) is a common groundwater contaminant that can be reductively dechlorinated to 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and monochloroethane, and can support the growth of certain dehalorespiring strains of Dehalobacter We used reductive d...

Sex differences in urinary levels of several biological indicators of exposure: a human volunteer study.

Toxicol. Lett. 202(3) , 218-25, (2011)

The aim of the study was to quantify the variability on biological indicators of exposure between men and women for three well known solvents: methyl ethyl ketone, 1-methoxy-2-propanol and 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Another purpose was to explore the effect of se...

Effects of 1,1,1-trichloroethane on enzymatic activity and bacterial community in anaerobic microcosm form sequencing batch reactors.

Ecotoxicology 21(5) , 1426-35, (2012)

1,1,1-Trichloroethane (TCA), a major organic and groundwater contaminant, has very strong toxic effects on humans, plants and microorganisms. Effects of TCA on enzymatic activity and microbial diversity were investigated in the anaerobic sequencing batch reac...
