This pilot-scale field demonstration evaluated the remediation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater contaminated with aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) from a coupled regenerable ion exchange resin (IXR) and electrochemical oxidation (EO) treatment train. A pilot-scale IXR system was used that incorporates a novel resin regeneration process, and recovers and reuses the majority of the regenerant solution using distillation.
Groundwater remediation technologies that can destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in situ are in high demand. To address this need, using flow-through electrochemical reactors we compared the performance of three mesh electrode materials that may be implemented in the subsurface as permeable reactive barriers.
Telecommuting has become a dominant professional experience for many Canadian business and workers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Telecommuting has several benefits that are separate from COVID-19. Two prevalent changes have been in regard to telecommuting and online food buying habits, both of which impact social wellbeing as a dimension of social sustainability. We discuss two exploratory surveys on the perception of telecommuting and food e-commerce.

Background: Individuals with COPD have increased sensitivity to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) such as diesel exhaust (DE), but little is known about the acute effects of TRAP on exercise responses in COPD. Research Question: Does exposure before exercise to TRAP (DE titrated to 300 μg/m3 particulate matter < 2.5 μm in diameter [DE300]) show greater adverse effects on exercise endurance, exertional dyspnea, and cardiorespiratory responses to exercise in participants with mild to moderate COPD compared with former smokers with normal spirometry and healthy control participants?
The authors of this paper have developed the first known conceptual framework describing how Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSE) changes are developed based on 3 Native American Nations.
Overall survival has improved for patients with HIV and TCLs such as AIDS-defining B-cell lymphomas in the last decade. Low CD4 cell count predicts poor overall survival in patients with HIV and TCL, emphasizing the need for effective antiretroviral therapy.
This Series paper supports SDGs 3 and 10, reviewing the intersectionality of HIV-related stigma and ageing-related stigma with health-related quality of life, suggesting that the intersectionality of stigmas creates a new inequality that is greater than the individual components.
This Series paper supports SDG 3, examining hallmarks of ageing as drivers of multimobidity in people with HIV.
An Article in support of SDG 3, estimating the frequency of negative post-discharge outcomes, and assessing risk factors for such outcomes, in people with HIV.
