The detection rates of pharmaceuticals (Ps), personal care products (PCPs), current-use pesticides (CUPs) and a food additive (FA) in Brisbane River estuary (Queensland), Sydney estuary (New South Wales) and the Yarra River ...

Though abundant studies have targeted the sorption of Cr(VI) and As(V) anions by organic polymers or magnetic metal oxides, there is no research literature on the sorption characteristics of Cr(VI) and As(V) by ...

Stormwater is a largely under-utilised resource available to alleviate water shortages in urban areas. However, stormwater needs treatment before use. Further, projected changes to rainfall patterns due to global warming ...

The development, modification and optimization of analytical methods capable of simultaneous extraction and in-cell clean-up of extracts for subsequent determination of parent PAHs and their associated transformed nitro-PAHs ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of gamification as a novel technique in motivating community engagement in disaster-related activities in order to address the question of how gamification can be ...

Adsorption rate is a critical parameter in the design of effective biosorbent treatment systems for heavy metals removal. Though numerous studies have identified the physico-chemical properties of biosorbents that exert ...

Rivers are regarded as sinks and pathways of plastic pollutants from terrestrial environments to various other aquatic systems such as lakes and oceans. Although extensive research has been conducted in recent years on ...

The deposition and the re-suspension of particulate matter (PM) in urban areas are the key processes that contribute not only to stormwater pollution, but also to air pollution. However, investigation of the deposition and ...

Water scarcity, which is exacerbated by climate change, is a major challenge to ensure human well-being. Therefore, it is equally important to protect conventional water resources from degradation and at the same time to ...

The key challenge in social resilience assessment is to translate abstract and complex concepts to enable its measurement. Existing measures of social resilience indicators are problematic as these do not necessarily account ...
