Risk Assessment in Environmental Remediation
Toxicology, 1999Co-Authors: Thomas E. Rodriguez, Dennis J. PaustenbachAbstract:Publisher Summary This chapter examines the roles of toxicology and risk assessment in Environmental science and engineering as applied to Environmental Remediation. It describes how toxicological data and risk assessment concepts can be applied at various stages of the assessment and Remediation process, from the initial site characterization, through establishing cleanup goals, selecting remedies, and confirming that cleanup has been effective. The role that toxicology and risk assessment have played in Environmental Remediation has evolved considerably. Toxicologists identified the hazardous properties that chemicals possessed, risk assessors quantified the exposures to these chemicals and calculated appropriate cleanup levels, and engineers developed the appropriate, hopefully cost-effective solutions.

Photocatalytic systems as an advanced Environmental Remediation: Recent developments, limitations and new avenues for applications
Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, 2016Co-Authors: Rizwan Ahmad, Zaki Ahmad, Asad Ullah Khan, Naila Riaz Mastoi, Muhammad Aslam, Jeonghwan KimAbstract:Abstract Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising technology especially for Environmental Remediation. Despite more than a decade of worldwide research in developing photocatalytic efficiency improving techniques, many questions regarding the large scale application of photocatalytic reactors still remain unanswered. Recently, improving the photocatalytic efficiency has gained scientific attention because it might lead to more economical and robust photocatalytic operation for Environmental Remediation. In this review, fundamental and comprehensive assessments of the photocatalytic concepts and their applications for Environmental Remediation are reviewed. The existing challenges and strategies to improve the photocatalytic efficiency are discussed. Further, recent developments and future research prospects on photocatalytic systems for Environmental applications are also addressed.

Fe0 Nanomotors in Ton Quantities (1020 Units) for Environmental Remediation
Chemistry: A European Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Radek Zboril, Ivo Medrik, Martin PumeraAbstract:Despite demonstrating potential for Environmental Remediation and biomedical applications, the practical Environmental applications of autonomous self-propelled micro-/nanorobots have been limited by the inability to fabricate these devices in large (kilograms/tons) quantities. In view of the demand for large-scale Environmental Remediation by micro-/nanomotors, which are easily synthesized and powered by nontoxic fuel, we have developed bubble-propelled Fe(0) Janus nanomotors by a facile thermally induced solid-state procedure and investigated their potential as decontamination agents of pollutants. These Fe(0) Janus nanomotors, stabilized by an ultrathin iron oxide shell, were fuelled by their decomposition in citric acid, leading to the asymmetric bubble propulsion. The degradation of azo-dyes was dramatically increased in the presence of moving self-propelled Fe(0) nanomotors, which acted as reducing agents. Such enhanced pollutant decomposition triggered by biocompatible Fe(0) (nanoscale zero-valent iron motors), which can be handled in the air and fabricated in ton quantities for low cost, will revolutionize the way that Environmental Remediation is carried out.
