The pentafluorosulfanyl group (-SF) is one of the most promising fluorinated functional groups, recently developed as an alternative to the trifluoromethyl group (-CF) in drug design. Fluorine-18 allows researchers to investigate activity and biodis...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly resistant to conventional degradation methods due to the exceptional stability of their C-F bonds. As a result, current degradation technologies often rely on high energy inputs and excessive use ...
INTRODUCTION: Waterborne diseases are leading concerns in emergencies. Humanitarian guidelines stipulate universal water chlorination targets, but these fail to reliably protect water as postdistribution chlorine decay can leave water vulnerable to p...

Fluorinated compounds are used for agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and numerous industrial applications, resulting in global contamination. In many molecules, fluorine is incorporated to enhance the half-life and improve bioavailability. Fluorinated co...
Disinfection processes in water treatment produce disinfection byproducts (DBPs), such as iodinated trihalomethanes (I-THMs), which pose significant health risks. Mitigating I-THMs remains challenging due to the complex interactions among water quali...

Assessing the degradation of emerging contaminants in water through chlorination is crucial for regulatory monitoring of these contaminants. In this study, we developed a machine learning model to predict the apparent second-order reaction rate const...
Restricted to the complex nature of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in various aquatic environments, the mechanisms of enhanced iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) formation in water containing both I and IO (designated as I/IO in this study) d...
Machine learning can be used to predict the properties of polymers and explore vast chemical spaces. However, the limited number of available experimental datasets hinders the enhancement of the predictive performance of a model. This study proposes ...
This study investigated the coexistence and contamination of manganese (Mn(II)) and arsenite (As(III)) in groundwater and examined their oxidation behavior under different equilibrating parameters, including varying pH, bicarbonate (HCO) concentratio...
Chemical and pharmaceutical chemicals found in water sources create substantial risks to human health and the environment. The presence of pharmaceutical contaminants in water can cause antibiotic resistance development, toxicity to aquatic organisms...
