The Immunotoxicity of Two Novel Perfluoroether Acids Found in North Carolina’s Cape Fear River
(East Carolina University, 2021-08-02)
Novel perfluoroether acids (PFEAs) have been identified in surface waters of North Carolina and in the blood of some North Carolina residents. As some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are presumed immune hazards ...
SURFACE FUNCTIONALIZED ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MEMBRANE (ECM) FOR 1,4-DIOXANE REMOVAL FROM DRINKING WATER
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-19)
1,4-Dioxane is an emerging water contaminant linked with liver and kidney damage and increased cancer risk. We developed several nano-modified electrically conductive membranes (Nano-ECMs) and assessed their 1,4-Dioxane ...
