Persistence and Mobility (defined as organic‑carbon partitioning) do not correlate to the detection of substances found in surface and groundwater: Criticism of the regulatory concept of Persistent and mobile substances

Nutraceutical Aspects of Selected Wild Edible Plants of the Italian Central Apennines

“…Flavonoid-rich extracts and EO Borago aerial parts were tested on bacteria isolated from respiratory infections of clinical patients. Multiresistant hospital isolates were found to be sensitive to the flavonoid extracts and to the essential oil; interestingly, Escherichia coli (resistant), Streptococcus pneumoniae (sensitive to amoxicillin), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (sensitive to Imipeneme) were sensitive to flavonoids [289].…”

Transformation of potentially persistent and mobile organic micropollutants in column experiments

“…Recent studies showed the presence of emerging contaminants such as cyanoguanidine (CG), n-(3-(dimethylamino)-propyl)methacrylamide (MAPMA), 2-methyl-2-propene-1-sulfonic acid (MPSA), benzyldimethylamine (BDMA), benzyltrimethylammonium (BETMAC), adamantan-1-amine (ATA), 1,3-di- o -tolylguanidine (DIOTOG), 1,3-diphenylguanidine (DPG), 4-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine (HHTMP), melamine (MEL), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate (AAMPS), dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid (DMBSA), p -toluenesulfonic acid (PTSS) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFMSA) in surface and groundwater with concentrations in the ranges of ng/L and μg/L [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. In addition, 53% of the detected emerging PM substances were above 0.1 μg/L [ 4 , 8 , 11 ]. In Europe, there is an ongoing discussion to register PM substances under REACH legislation (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals (EC 1907/2006) regulation Annex XIII), similar to the previously regularized PBT (persistence, bioaccumulative and toxic) substances.…”
