Abstract
Chlorophyll-a as pigments, exist in the green organelles for plants that act in photosynthesis. Different studies were considered with demonstration of an effective separation technique of Chlorophyll-a without decomposition; however, the reported methods were disadvantageous with expensiveness and low quantum yield. The current work uniquely represents an investigative method for the separation of Chlorophyll-a from spinach extract using cellulosic hybrids based on ZIF-8 @cellulosic fibers (Zn-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks@cellulosic fibers) as a cost effective and recyclable absorbents. To obtain hybrids, ZIF-8 was in-situ prepared over the cellulosic fibers (bamboo, modal and cotton). The untreated and treated fibers were well characterized via FTIR, SEM, EDX, XRD, in order to approve the successive impregnation of ZIF-8. Whereas, the microscopic images showed that, microcrystalline ZIF-8 rods with length of 1.3-4.4 µm were grown over the cellulosic fibers. The obtained hybrids and the untreated fibers were exploited in the separation of Chlorophyll-a via the adsorption/desorption process. The chlorophyll-adsorption was followed Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order model. The Langmuir maximum capacities of Chlorophyll-a onto hybrids were followed the order of ZIF-8@cotton (583.6 mg/g) > ZIF-8@modal (561.3 mg/g) > ZIF-8@bamboo (528.7 mg/g). After incorporation of ZIF-8, the maximum adsorption capacities of cellulosic fibers were enhanced by 1.4-1.9 times. Adsorption of chlorophyll onto the applied hybrids was lowered by 27-28%, after five repetitive washing cycles. The data summarized that; chlorophyll was effectively separated by the synthesized ZIF-8@cellulosic fibers hybrids, whereas, the prepared hybrids showed good reusability for application on wider scaled purposes.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:23870-23886.

Abstract
Fixed-bed studies for phenol uptake from water were carried out using a novel Pb-Fe spinel-activated carbon adsorbent. A characterization phase including TGA, FTIR, SEM, and BET analyses was performed for the developed active carbon. In column studies, the influence of initial phenol concentration, column bed height, and the solution flow rate was investigated at natural pH. Adsorption of phenol onto Pb-Fe spinel-activated carbon composite and pristine activated carbon was analyzed in the form of breakthrough curves. Under optimum conditions, the maximum adsorption capacities for the magnetic active carbon composite and pristine activated carbon were found to be 113.95 and 102.61 mg/g, respectively. Results indicated that the adsorption capacity of adsorbent for all examined conditions was higher than that obtained for unmodified activated carbon because the composite contains additional metal hydroxides compared with the pristine activated carbon. The Yoon and Nelson, Thomas, and instantaneous local equilibrium (ILE) models were used to explain column data collected under different operating conditions. Finally, the results of the continuous adsorption process were explained successfully using the Yoon-Nelson and Thomas models. Thus, the phenol adsorption on Pb-Fe@MAC was a feasible operation to be performed in fixed-bed mode.

Anti-Allergic and Antioxidant Potential of Polyphenol-Enriched Fractions from Cyclopia subternata (Honeybush) Produced by a Scalable Process. SEPARATIONS 2022.

Abstract
Anti-allergic activity was previously demonstrated for extracts of Cyclopia subternata Vogel plant material, containing substantial amounts of xanthones, benzophenones, dihydrochalcones, flavanones and flavones. Fractionation of a hot water extract on macroporous resin was performed aiming to increase its potency. Operating conditions for scaled-up fractionation of the extract were determined, using small-scale static and dynamic sorption/desorption experiments. The anti-allergic potential of the fractions was assessed based on inhibition of β-hexosaminidase release from IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. Given the role of oxidative stress in allergic reactions, the extract and fractions were also tested for their ability to scavenge the superoxide anion radical and inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO), an enzyme involved in its generation. The routine DPPH and ORAC assays were used for determination of the antioxidant capacity of the fractions. 3-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyliriflophenone (IDG) had the lowest affinity for the resin, dictating selection of the optimal separation conditions. The extract was separated into four fractions on XAD1180N, using step-wise gradient elution with EtOH-water solutions. The major phenolic compounds present in the fractions were IDG and 3-β-D-glucopyranosyliriflophenone (fraction 1), mangiferin, isomangiferin, 3′,5′-di-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3-hydroxyphloretin and vicenin-2 (fraction 2), 3′,5′-di-β-D-glucopyranosylphloretin, eriocitrin and scolymoside (fraction 3) and hesperidin and p-coumaric acid (fraction 4). Fractionation was only partially effective in increasing activity compared to the extract, i.e., fractions 2, 3 and 4 in the DPPH• and XO assays, fractions 1 and 2 in the ORAC assay and fraction 1 in the β-hexosaminidase release assay. In vivo testing will be required to determine whether the increased activity of fractions is worth the effort and expense of fractionation.

Abstract
Hazelnut skin is a rich source of polyphenols but is generally discarded during the roasting process of hazelnuts. Previous studies reported the extraction and identification of these compounds using different solvents and procedures; however, there are few reports on their enrichment and purification. In this study, three types of Amberlite macroporous resins (XAD 16, XAD 4, and XAD 7) were compared to evaluate the enrichment of polyphenols via adsorption and desorption mechanisms. The operating condition parameters for polyphenol adsorption/desorption of each resin were determined, the kinetics of adsorption were examined, and a method for polyphenol recovery was developed using static and dynamic adsorption/desorption. Antioxidant activity and high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection were used to confirm the increase in polyphenols obtained using the adsorption/desorption technique. XAD16 showed the highest adsorption capacity, with a recovery of 87.7%, and the adsorption kinetics fit well with a pseudo-second-order model. The highest poly-phenol desorption ratio was observed using an ethanol/water solution (70% v/v) at a flow rate of 1.5 bed volume/h.

Abstract
The production of olive oil and wine are two of the main agri-food economic activities in Southern Europe. They generate large amounts of solid and liquid wastes (e.g., olive pomace, olive mill wastewater, grape pomace, grape stems, wine lees, and wine processing wastewater) that represent a major environmental problem. Consequently, the management of these residues has become a big challenge for these industries, since they are harmful to the environment but rich in bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols. In recent years, the recovery of phenolic compounds has been proposed as a smart strategy for the valorization of these by-products, from a circular economy perspective. This review aims to provide a comprehensive description of the state of the art of techniques available for the analysis, extraction, and purification of polyphenols from the olive mill and winery residues. Thus, the integration and implementation of these techniques could provide a sustainable solution to the olive oil and winery sectors.

Abstract
Polyphenols are natural compounds with strong antioxidant properties synthesized by plants and widely distributed in plant tissues. They compose a broad class of compounds that are commonly employed for multiple applications such as food, pharmaceutical, adhesives, biomedical, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Runoffs from these sources result in the introduction of polyphenols into aquatic environments where they further transform into highly toxic pollutants that can negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and humans. Therefore, the development of extraction and remediation methods for such compounds must be addressed. This study describes the identification and operation of a method to recover polyphenolic compounds from water environments by utilizing membrane-based separation. Composite membranes derived from electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) fibers and diblock copolymer (DiBCP) PEO-b-P4VP were prepared to evaluate the adsorption of polyphenolic compounds from aqueous environments. The highly porous CA fibers were developed using the electrospinning technique, and the fabricated DiBCP/CA membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and tensile testing. Finally, the ability of the composite membranes to adsorb the soluble polyphenolic compounds catechol (CAT) and gallic acid (GA), from a wetland environment, was studied via batch adsorption experiments and by solid-phase extraction (SPE). Results revealed a successful recovery of both polyphenols, at concentrations within the parts per million (ppm) range, from the aqueous media. This suggests a novel approach to recover these compounds to prevent their transformation into toxic pollutants upon entrance to water environments.

Abstract
Diatomite/kaolinite-based geopolymer (GP) was synthesized and incorporated in zeolitization process (Z/GP) to investigate the role of the zeolite phases in inducing its retention capacity of the dissolved Sr (II) ions in water. The retention of Sr (II) ions using Z/GP in comparison with GP was evaluated based on both batch and fixed-bed column studies. In the batch study, the zeolitized geopolymer (Z/GP) shows enhancement in the Sr (II) retention capacity (193.7 mg/g) as compared to the normal geopolymer (102 mg/g). Moreover, the recyclability studies demonstrate higher stability for Z/GP than GP with a retention percentage higher than 90% for five reusing runs. The kinetic and the equilibrium properties of the occurred Sr (II) retention reactions follow the assumption of the Pseudo-Second order model (R2 > 0.96) and Langmuir model (R2 > 0.97), respectively. The Gaussian energies (15.4 kJ/mol (GP) and 11.47 kJ/mol (Z/GP)) related to retention mechanism of chemical type and within the suggested range for the zeolitic ion exchange processes. The Sr (II) retention reactions by GP and Z/GP are of spontaneous and exothermic properties which qualifies the products to be used at low-temperature conditions (20 °C). The column studies also declared higher performance for the Z/GP fixed bed as compared to the normal GP bed considering the total Sr (II) retention percentage (72.9%), treated volume (8 L), saturation time (1620 min), and a maximum capacity of Z/GP particles in the bed (567.6 mg/g).

Abstract
A novel form of sodalite was synthesized from muscovite (M.SD) as low-cost softening material for both Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions from real groundwater in batch and column studies. The sodalite sample showed significant surface area (105 m2/g) and ion exchange capacity (87.3 meq/100 g) which qualifies it strong for softening applications. The incorporation of the M.SD as a fixed bed in column system at a fixed thickness of 4 cm and flow rates of 5 mL/min resulted in removal percentages of 90.5% and 92.2% for Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively at pH 7.6. Considering the real concentrations of the ions (Ca2+ (233 mg/L) and Mg2+ (114 mg/L)), the M.SD bed has the ability to reduce their concentrations according to the recommended limits (75 mg/L for Ca2+ and 50 mg/L for Mg2+). These conditions resulted in purification of about 8.1 L and 8.7 L with breakthrough intervals of 1380 min and 1440 min; and saturation interval more than 1620 min for Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively. The M.SD columns' performances were described considering the assumption of the Thomas model, Adams-Bohart model, and Yoon-Nelson model. The batch studies demonstrate the uptake of both Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions according to the Pseudo-First order kinetics and Langmuir equilibrium behaviour. Considering the values of Gaussian energies (0.77 KJ/mol (Ca2+) and 1.36 KJ/mol (Mg2+)), the uptake of these ions occurred by homogenous reactions of monolayer form and physical nature. The thermodynamic studies declared the spontaneous properties of the reactions and their exothermic properties.

Abstract
Ethanol distillation generates a huge volume of unwanted chemical liquid known as distillery wastewater. Distillery wastewater is acidic, dark brown having high biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, contains various salt contents, and heavy metals. Inadequate and indiscriminate disposal of distillery wastewater deteriorates the quality of the soil, water, and ultimately groundwater. Its direct exposure via food web shows toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects on aquatic-terrestrial organisms including humans. So, there is an urgent need for its proper management. For this purpose, a group of researchers applied distillery wastewater for fertigation while others focused on its physico-chemical, biological treatment approaches. But until now no cutting-edge technology has been proposed for its effective management. So, it becomes imperative to comprehend its toxicity, treatment methods, and implication for environmental sustainability. This paper reviews the last decade's research data on advanced physico-chemical, biological, and combined (physico-chemical and biological) methods to treat distillery wastewater and its reuse aspects. Finally, it revealed that the combined methods along with the production of value-added products are one of the best options for distillery wastewater management.

Abstract
Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is nowadays considered a serious environmental problem, especially within the Mediterranean region. With this in mind, water shortages are also a very serious and prevalent concern in third world countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using Jordanian bentonite, a simple and natural clay, as a possible adsorbent to decrease the negative characteristics of raw OMW, as an approach to the development of a methodology that addresses the OMW problem without affecting freshwater resources. The purified bentonite was activated by sodium ions at room temperature. FTIR, XRD, TGA, and BET surface area measurements were performed. OMW was contacted with both purified and activated bentonite in the batch technique to figure out the optimum parameters for the adsorption process. Physiochemical parameters of OMW were measured before and after treatment. The maximum adsorption qm was found as 8.81 mg/g at 323 K for the total phenolic compounds. The Langmuir and Freundlich models were utilized to describe the equilibrium isotherms and both models fit well. The parameters of thermodynamic show that the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in nature. These promising results along with the sodium activation of bentonite significantly improve bentonite’s adsorption capacity.

Polymer brush-grafted cotton fiber for the efficient removal of aromatic halogenated disinfection by-products in drinking water. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 597:66-74. [PMID: 33865079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.03.084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Apart from the activated carbon, other functional adsorbents are usually not frequently reported for the removal of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water. In this study, a novel polymer brush-grafted cotton fiber was prepared and for the first time used as adsorbents for the efficient removal of aromatic halogenated DBPs in drinking water in the column adsorption mode. Poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) was grafted onto the surface of cotton fibers via UV irradiation, and then diethylenetriamine was immobilized on the PGMA polymer brush through amination reaction to obtain the aminated cotton fibers (ACFs). The adsorption performance of the prepared ACF was investigated with eight aromatic halogenated DBPs via dynamic adsorption experiments. The results revealed that ACF showed significantly longer breakthrough point (38,500-225,500 BV) for aromatic halogenated DBPs compared with the granular activated carbon (150-500 BV). Thomas model was used to fit the breakthrough curves, and the theoretical value of the maximum adsorption capacity ranged from 14.76 to 89.47 mg/g. The enhanced adsorption performance of the ACF for aromatic halogenated DBPs was mainly due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. Additionally, the partially protonated amine groups also improved the adsorption performance. Furthermore, the ACF also showed remarkable stability and reusability.

Abstract
Effective recovery of palladium ions from acidic waste solutions is important due to palladium’s intensive usage as a catalyst for different industrial processes and to the high price paid for its production from natural resources. In this paper, we test the ability of a new adsorbent, MgSiO3 functionalized by impregnation with DL-cysteine (cys), for palladium ion recovery from waste solutions. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) pore size and volume analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Fourier-Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy have been performed to characterize this material. Firstly, the maximum adsorption capacity of the new obtained material, MgSiO3-cys, in batch, was studied. To establish the adsorption mechanism, the obtained experimental data were fitted using the Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips adsorption isotherms. Studies on the adsorption of palladium ions on the synthesized material were performed in a dynamic regime, in a fixed-bed column. The Pd(II) recovery mechanism in the dynamic column regime was established based on Bohart–Adams, Yoon–Nelson, Thomas, and Clark models. The obtained equilibrium adsorption capacity was 9.3 (mg g−1) in static regime (batch) and 3 (mg g−1) in dynamic regime (column). The models that best describe the Pd(II) recovery process for batch and column adsorption are Sips and Clark, respectively.

Evaluation of different forms of Egyptian diatomite for the removal of ammonium ions from Lake Qarun: A realistic study to avoid eutrophication. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 266:115277.

Abstract
Three types of diatomite-based adsorbents-diatomaceous earth (DE), purified diatomite (PD), and diatomite@MgO/CaO (D@MgO) were used for adsorption decontamination of ammonium from Lake Qarun water (28.7 mg/L). The adsorption properties of the three diatomite-based adsorbents were evaluated by both batch and fixed-bed column adsorption studies. The kinetic results demonstrated removal percentages of 97.2%, 69.5%, and 100% using DE, PD, and D@MgO, respectively, at a 1 g/L adsorbent dosage. The adsorption results using DE and D@MgO showed the best fitness with pseudo-first-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models, while the obtained results using PD demonstrate better fitness with the Freunlidich model. The recognised fitting results with the pseudo-first-order model and estimated adsorption energies demonstrated physical uptake of ammonium by DE (5.93 kJ/mol), PD (4.05 kJ/mol), and D@MgO (7.81 kJ/mol). The theoretical maximum ammonium uptake capacity of DE, PD, and D@MgO were 63.16 mg/g, 59.5 mg/g, and 78.3 mg/g, respectively. Using synthetic adsorbents in a fixed-bed column system for treating ammonium ions in Lake Qarun water resulted in removal percentages of 57.4%, 53.3%, and 62.6% using a DE bed, PD bed, and D@MgO bed, respectively, after treating approximately 7.2 L of Lake Qarun water using a bed thickness of 3 cm, a flow rate of 5 mL/min, pH 8, and the determined ammonium concentration in Lake Qarun water (28.7 mg/L). The curves demonstrated breakthrough times of 900 min, 900 min, and 960 min for the DE bed, PD bed, and D@MgO bed, respectively, with 1440 min as the saturation time. The columns' performances also were studied based on the Thomas model, the Adams-Bohart model, and the Yoon-Nelson model.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21217874. [PMID: 33114195 PMCID: PMC7660631 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21217874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 10/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
This study examines the mechanisms of adsorption of anthocyanins from model aqueous solutions at pH values of 3, 6, and 9 by ion-exchange resins making the main component of heterogeneous ion-exchange membranes. This is the first report demonstrating that the pH of the internal solution of a KU-2-8 aromatic cation-exchange resin is 2-3 units lower than the pH of the external bathing anthocyanin-containing solution, and the pH of the internal solution of some anion-exchange resins with an aromatic (AV-17-8, AV-17-2P) or aliphatic (EDE-10P) matrix is 2-4 units higher than the pH of the external solution. This pH shift is caused by the Donnan exclusion of hydroxyl ions (in the KU-2-8 resin) or protons (in the AV-17-8, AV-17-2P, and EDE-10P resins). The most significant pH shift is observed for the EDE-10P resin, which has the highest ion-exchange capacity causing the highest Donnan exclusion. Due to the pH shift, the electric charge of anthocyanin inside an ion-exchange resin differs from its charge in the external solution. At pH 6, the external solution contains uncharged anthocyanin molecules. However, in the AV-17-8 and AV-17-2P resins, the anthocyanins are present as singly charged anions, while in the EDE-10P resin, they are in the form of doubly charged anions. Due to the electrostatic interactions of these anions with the positively charged fixed groups of anion-exchange resins, the adsorption capacities of AV-17-8, AV-17-2P, and EDE-10P were higher than expected. It was established that the electrostatic interactions of anthocyanins with the charged fixed groups increase the adsorption capacity of the aromatic resin by a factor of 1.8-2.5 compared to the adsorption caused by the π-π (stacking) interactions. These results provide new insights into the fouling mechanism of ion-exchange materials by polyphenols; they can help develop strategies for membrane cleaning and for extracting anthocyanins from juices and wine using ion-exchange resins and membranes.

Abstract
Kaolinite nanotube particles (KNTs) were synthesized by a chemical exfoliation and scrolling process in the existence of sonication waves. The KNT product was identified as a mesoporous material (12 nm in pore diameter) with high surface area (105 m2/g) and promising adsorption affinity for the levofloxacin antibiotic (LVOX) residuals in wastewater. The KNT particles were used as a fixed bed in the continuous adsorption column system for LVOX considering the essential variables. The investigation of the KNT fixed bed in a continuous column for 1800 min verified its suitability to reduce the LVOX content in 9 L of polluted solutions by 80.4%. This was recognized after using the KNT bed of 4 cm in height, a flow rate of 5 mL/min, a pH value of 8, a total flow interval of 1800 min, and an LVOX concentration of 10 mg/L. The regeneration study of the bed declared effective recyclability properties for the KNT particles in the LVOX adsorption column system. The dynamic properties of the KNT bed-based column system were explained based on Thomas, Adams-Bohart, and the Yoon-Nelson kinetic models. The LVOX adsorption reaction by KNTs follows Langmuir behavior with homogeneous and monolayer uptake form. The Gaussian energy (2.05 kJ/mol) and the thermodynamic parameters emphasized physical, spontaneous, and exothermic adsorption reactions for LVOX by KNTs.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (Ace) is a trace pollutant widely found in sewage treatment plant (STP) wastewater. We test the feasibility of coconut shell waste, a low cost adsorbent from coconut industry, for removing Ace from synthetic solution in a fixed-bed column adsorption. To enhance its performance, the surface of granular activated carbon (GAC) was pre-treated with NaOH, HNO3, ozone, and/or chitosan respectively. The results show that the chemical modification of the GAC's surface with various chemicals has enhanced its Ace removal during the column operations. Among the modified adsorbents, the ozone-treated GAC stands out for the highest Ace adsorption capacity (38.2 mg/g) under the following conditions: 40 mg/L of Ace concentration, 2 mL/min of flow rate, 45 cm of bed depth. Both the Thomas and the Yoon-Nelson models are applicable to simulate the experimental results of the column operations with their adsorption capacities: ozone-treated GAC (20.88 mg/g) > chitosan-coated GAC (16.67 mg/g) > HNO3-treated GAC (11.09 mg/g) > NaOH-treated GAC (7.57 mg/g) > as-received GAC (2.84 mg/g). This suggests that the ozone-treated GAC is promising and suitable for Ace removal in a fixed-bed reactor.

Abstract
The adsorption behavior of basic, methylene blue (MB), and reactive, remazol brilliant violet 5R (RBV), dyes from aqueous solution onto Intsia bijuga sawdust-based activated carbon (IBSAC) was executed via batch and column studies. The produced activated carbon was characterized through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and pore structural analysis, proximate and ultimate, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Batch studies were performed to investigate the effects of contact time, initial concentration, and solution pH. The equilibrium data for both MB and RBV adsorption better fits Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacity of 434.78 and 212.77 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic studies for both MB and RBV dyes showed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. For column mode, the breakthrough curves were plotted by varying the flow rate, bed height, and initial concentration and the breakthrough data were best correlated with the Yoon-Nelson model compared to Thomas and Adams-Bohart model. The adsorption activity of IBSAC shows good stability even after four consecutive cycles.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical pollutants substantially affect the environment; thus, their treatments have been the focus of many studies. In this article, the fixed-bed adsorption of pharmaceuticals on various adsorbents was reviewed. The experimental breakthrough curves of these pollutants under various flow rates, inlet concentrations, and bed heights were examined. Fixed-bed data in terms of saturation uptakes, breakthrough time, and the length of the mass transfer zone were included. The three most popular breakthrough models, namely, Adams-Bohart, Thomas, and Yoon-Nelson, were also reviewed for the correlation of breakthrough curve data along with the evaluation of model parameters. Compared with the Adams-Bohart model, the Thomas and Yoon-Nelson more effectively predicted the breakthrough data for the studied pollutants.
