Diazinon is an extensively applied organophosphate pesticide, and nonylphenol is one of the major degradation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates which are commonly used as surfactant in pesticide formulations. Both ...

Nonylphenol polyethoxylates (NPnEOs) are widely used surfactants whose degradation products are a matter of concern due to their greater persistence in the environment, toxicity and endocrine-disrupting effects in wildlife ...

Polyethoxylated nonylphenols (NPEOx) are widely used in various domestic and industrial applications. These commercial products are mixtures of oligomers that affect aquatic ecosystems, acting as endocrine disruptors. In ...

Capillary electrophoresis based on non-aqueous solvent background electrolytes was employed, with single and multiple wavelength UV detection, to evaluate discrimination among oligomer components of mixtures of non-ionic, ...

Abstract Certain emerging pollutants are among the most widely used chemicals globally, causing widespread concern in relation to their use in products devoted to cleaniness and asepsis. Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPEOn) is ...

In this study the sorption of nonylphenol was implemented on a rotating Teflon disk coated with a PDMS film on one of its surfaces. In this way, the disk, which has a high surface area, contacts only the liquid sample, ...

A molecular approach was used to evaluate the effect of nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants on the bacterial diversity in lab-scale activated sludge reactors. Separate bench-scale units were fed synthetic wastewater with ...

Copper and nonylphenol are two commonly found chemicals in the aquatic environment, particularly in the distribution area of the amphibian Rhinella arenarum. The current work evaluated the lethal toxicity of equitoxic and ...

This work illustrates the effect of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as an antifouling and pre-concentrating agent for electroanalytical measurement of bisphenol A (BPA) on a screen-printed carbon electrode. The ...
