Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal in highly contaminated field soils (2007)

Ford, Christopher I., Walter, Monika, Northcott, Grant L., Di, Hong J., Cameron, Keith C., Trower, Tania

This study was conducted to improve the pentachlorophenol (PCP) bioremediation ability of white-rot fungi in highly contaminated field soils by manipulating bioaugmentation variables. These were the...

Fungal inoculum properties : Extracellular enzyme expression and pentachlorophenol removal by New Zealand Trametes species in contaminated field soils (2007)

Ford, Christopher I., Walter, Monika, Northcott, Grant L., Di, Hong J., Cameron, Keith C., Trower, Tania

This study was conducted to improve the ability of indigenous New Zealand white-rot fungi to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated field soil. The effects of different bioaugmentation...

PAHs, PCBs, PCNs, organochlorine pesticides, synthetic musks and polychlorinated n-alkanes in UK sewage sludge:  survey results and implications. (2003)

Stevens, Joanna L., Northcott, Grant L., Stern, Gary A., Tomy, Gregg T., Jones, Kevin C.

A survey of the digested sludge from 14 U.K. wastewater treatment plants was carried out to obtain contemporary U.K. data on the concentrations of certain classes of persistent organic compounds for...

A comparison of high volume and diffusion denuder samplers for measuring semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. (2000)

Peters, A. J., Lane, D. A., Gundel, L. A., Northcott, Grant L., Jones, Kevin C.

A detailed comparison of two inherently different ambient air samplers has been conducted to fully characterize and compare their performance in sampling and measuring the partitioning of a suite of...

Developing a standard spiking procedure for the introduction of hydrophobic organic compounds into field-wet soil. (2000)

Northcott, Grant L., Jones, Kevin C.

The purpose of this study was to reevaluate a number of spiking procedures we had previously investigated for spiking dry soil, determine their suitability for spiking radiolabeled hydrophobic...

Spiking hydrophobic organic compounds into soil and sediment : a review and critique of adopted procedures. (2000)

Northcott, Grant L., Jones, Kevin C.

Studies on the fate and effects of organic pollutants in soil and sediment are often carried out under laboratory conditions and often require the study compound to be introduced, or spiked, into the...

Assessing the contribution of diffuse domestic burning as a source of PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PAHs to the UK atmosphere. (2000)

Lohmann, Rainer, Northcott, Grant L., Jones, Kevin C.

Ambient air samples were taken concurrently at four sites in northwest England to assess the role of domestic burning of coal/wood on ambient levels of PCDD/Fs, PCBs (including co-PCBs), and PAHs....

Experimental approaches and analytical techniques for determining organic compound bound residues in soil and sediment. (2000)

Northcott, Grant L., Jones, Kevin C.

Research has shown that many chemicals form persistent and permanently bound residues in soils and sediments that play an important role in soil and sediment detoxification processes, long-term...
