Partitioning and Bioavailability (2005)
Book Chapter
Philp, J., Stainsby, F., & Dunbar, S. (2005). Partitioning and Bioavailability. In Water encyclopediaWiley. doi:10.1002/047147844x.pc441

As soon as a chemical is spilled it becomes a pollutant, but the fate of that pollutant depends to a large degree on its chemistry, which determines how it will partition to various “compartments,” or phases, of the environment. This idea is enshrine... Read More about Partitioning and Bioavailability.

Microbial Foaming and Bulking in Activated Sludge Plants (2005)
Book Chapter
Stainsby, F., Philp, J. C., Dunbar, S., Ivshina, I. B., & Kuyukina, M. S. (2005). Microbial Foaming and Bulking in Activated Sludge Plants. In Water Encyclopedia. Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/047147844X.ww132

Microbial foaming and bulking are among the most frequent and widespread problems in activated sludge (AS) wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Bulking has plagued AS plants almost since their inception nearly a century ago, whereas microbial foaming... Read More about Microbial Foaming and Bulking in Activated Sludge Plants.
