Eawag covering Environmental Science & Technology
May 18, 2018 |
The scientists of the Water Resources and Drinking Water department investigated the widespread formation of potentially toxic benzoquinones, catechols, and cyclohexadienones during ozonation of waters containing phenol and para-substituted phenols. In the same edition, two Eawag publications were furthermore awarded with first and second runner up in the category “Feature” for ES&T Best Papers of 2017.
The most current edition of ES&T highlights a new paper by Eawag scientist Thomas Hofstetter of the department of Environmental Chemistry and Christopher Gorski, an Eawag alumnus, now at the Pennsylvania State University. In their work, the group of scientists set out to understand how rates of pollutant transformation depend on the thermodynamic properties of iron minerals.
