High impact information on Water Pollution

• Excretion of 'phytic acid phosphorus' by non-ruminants such as poultry, swine and fish can contribute to water pollution [1].
• Acrylamide encephaloneuropathy due to well water pollution [2].
• Quantifying the relative importance of denitrification and plant uptake to groundwater nitrate retention in riparian zones may lead to methods optimising the construction of riparian zones for water pollution control [3].
• The suitability of caffeine as a chemical marker for surface water pollution by domestic wastewaters was assessed in this study [4].
• Correction and prevention actions in Water Pollution Control Programs were generated as a result [5].

Biological context of Water Pollution

• This has caused wide concern because of possible groundwater and well drinking water pollution by leached nitrate N and the P losses to water by runoff from vegetable lands induce surface water eutrophication [6].
• Site and subject of PHS activities to understand, manage, and prevent pollution, Cincinnati now carries on this public health legacy as home to EPA's water pollution programs [7].

Associations of Water Pollution with chemical compounds

• Water pollution by triazine and chloroacetanilides was highest in the estuarine areas; showing that many of these compounds are transported significant distances from their application sites [8].
• Owing to the rapid industrial growth, serious soil and water pollutions by chlorophenols has been reported in Taiwan. In this study, 10 indigenous PCP-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from a PCP-degrading mixed culture, and the potential of both the pure and mixed cultures for PCP degradation compared [9].
• The percentage of Cd in plant tissues points to a certain degree of water pollution in Sultan Mash [10].
• 3,5-Dinitro-4-chloro-alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluorotoluene (DNCTT) is an intermediate in the synthesis of dinitroaniline herbicides and was involved in an episode of ground water pollution in 1977 [11].
• As uranium will be progressively dispersed far from the impact sites, at a rate controlled by the presence of effective fixing mechanisms, we feel necessary to maintain long term geochemical control of water pollution within the battlefield surroundings [12].

Gene context of Water Pollution

• Water pollution and degradation in Pearl River Delta, South China [13].
• Use of the fish cytochrome P-450-dependent 7-ethylresorufin O-deethylase activity as a biochemical indicator of water pollution. Study of the liver and the kidney of male and female nase (Chondrostoma nasus) from the River Rhône [14].
• Lawrence River and three of its tributaries, in Canada. Severe reproductive impairment and lack of successful recruitment reported in this species have been hypothetically associated with water pollution [15].
• Strong response of the monooxygenase system in O. niloticus to water pollution was detected with both specific cytochrome P-450 content and EROD activity increasing sharply [16].
• Among the physical and chemical variables measured, water pollution, particularly organic contamination and eutrophication, measured from BOD, and total phosphate concentration, respectively, appeared to be one of the most important environmental factors determining the composition and structure of species associations in the area studied [17].
