The present study investigates the efficacy of various oxidizing treatments (ClO(-), ClO(2), KMnO(4), O(3), O(3)/H(2)O(2), O(3)/activated carbon) to remove from waters sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (SDBS), considered as model surfactant. Results obtained show that the use of ClO(-) and ClO(2) does not

The perchlorate discharge assay (PDA) is potentially of high diagnostic value to distinguish between direct and indirect thyroid toxicity mechanisms, provided that standard treatment times are established and positive controls yield reproducible results. Therefore the PDA was evaluated after 2
