Occurrence of methyl triclosan, a transformation product of the bactericide triclosan, in fish from various lakes in SwitzerlandMarianne E Balmer
Swiss Federal Research Station, CH 8820 Wäddenswil, Switzerland
Environ Sci Technol 38:390-5. 2004..SPMDs were found to be reliable for monitoring low concentrations of methyl triclosan in surface water. Methyl triclosan appears to be a suitable marker for WWTP-derived lipophilic contaminants in the aquatic environment and fish...
Occurrence of some organic UV filters in wastewater, in surface waters, and in fish from Swiss LakesMarianne E Balmer
Agroscope FAW, Swiss Federal Research Station, CH 8820 Wadenswil, Switzerland
Environ Sci Technol 39:953-62. 2005..The lipid-based bioconcentration factor (BCF(L)) estimated from the fish (roach) data and SPMD-derived water concentrations was about 1-2.3 x 10(4) and thus approximately 1 order of magnitude lower than expected from its Kow value...
Occurrence of UV filter compounds from sunscreens in surface waters: regional mass balance in two Swiss lakesThomas Poiger
Agroscope, Swiss Federal Research Station for Horticulture, CH 8820 Wadenswil, Switzerland
Chemosphere 55:951-63. 2004..No UV filters were detected above blank levels in SPMDs deployed at a remote mountain lake used for background measurements...
Stereoisomer composition of the chiral UV filter 4-methylbenzylidene camphor in environmental samplesHans Rudolf Buser
Agroscope FAW, Swiss Federal Research Station, CH 8820 Wadenswil, Switzerland
Environ Sci Technol 39:3013-9. 2005..The data indicate that the stereoisomer composition of 4-MBC in environmental samples is not only a function of initial product composition but is also modified by enantioselective processes in lakes and biota (fish)...
Occurrence of UV filters 4-methylbenzylidene camphor and octocrylene in fish from various Swiss rivers with inputs from wastewater treatment plantsHans-Rudolf Buser
Agroscope FAW, Swiss Federal Research Station, Plant Protection Chemistry, , Switzerland
Environ Sci Technol 40:1427-31. 2006..The higher average concentrations of OC as compared to 4-MBC in river fish, and the fact that OC was mostly absent in lake fish, suggests differences in bioaccumulation and availability of these two UV filters...
Environmental behavior of the chiral acetamide pesticide metalaxyl: enantioselective degradation and chiral stability in soilHans Rudolf Buser
Swiss Federal Research Station, Wädenswil
Environ Sci Technol 36:221-6. 2002..Furthermore, the conversion of metalaxyl to MX-acid proceeded with retention of configuration. Degradation followed approximate first-order kinetics but showed significant lag phases...
