It suggested how organic contaminants from the Antarctic ice could have misled scientists.

Some low volatility organic contaminants have a short hydrolysis half life.

When an organic contaminant is present, the contact angle of water with the device will be high.

Gold also does not form oxides; it adsorbs organic contaminants from the air, but these are easy to remove.

A specific concern is urbanization, which affects water quality by increasing its load of metals and organic contaminants.

Such a system, he said, will also remove sediment from the water along with other organic contaminants like benzene and gasoline.

They found soaring levels of toxic heavy metals and organic contaminants in both places.

This is the primary means through which organic contaminants can be remediated.

This method has not been effectively tested on organic contaminants.

This allows the water to become oxygenated and naturally purified from its organic contaminants.
