Pharmaceuticals, Hormones, and Other Organic Wastewater Contaminants in U.S. Streams, 1999−2000:  A National Reconnaissance

Dana W. Kolpin, Edward T. Furlong, Michael T. Meyer et al. · 1 Mar 2002

To provide the first nationwide reconnaissance of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water resources, the U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 OWCs in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000. The selection…

Fluorescence Excitation−Emission Matrix Regional Integration to Quantify Spectra for Dissolved Organic Matter

Wen Chen, Paul Westerhoff, Jerry A. Leenheer et al. · 15 Nov 2003

Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy has been widely used to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water and soil. However, interpreting the > 10,000 wavelength-dependent fluorescence intensity data points represented in EEMs has posed a significant challenge. Fluorescence regional integration, a quantitative technique that integrates the volume beneath an EEM, was developed to analyze EEMs.…

Microbial Fuel Cells:  Methodology and Technology

Bruce E. Logan, H.V.M. Hamelers, René A. Rozendal et al. · 14 Jul 2006

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) research is a rapidly evolving field that lacks established terminology and methods for the analysis of system performance. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare devices on an equivalent basis. The construction and analysis of MFCs requires knowledge of different scientific and engineering fields, ranging from microbiology and electrochemistry to…

Microplastics in the Marine Environment: A Review of the Methods Used for Identification and Quantification

Valeria Hidalgo‐Ruz, Lars Gutow, Richard C. Thompson et al. · 9 Feb 2012

This review of 68 studies compares the methodologies used for the identification and quantification of microplastics from the marine environment. Three main sampling strategies were identified: selective, volume-reduced, and bulk sampling. Most sediment samples came from sandy beaches at the high tide line, and most seawater samples were taken at the sea surface using neuston…

Accumulation of Microplastic on Shorelines Woldwide: Sources and Sinks

Mark A. Oakley Browne, Phillip Crump, S. J. Niven et al. · 6 Sep 2011

Plastic debris <1 mm (defined here as microplastic) is accumulating in marine habitats. Ingestion of microplastic provides a potential pathway for the transfer of pollutants, monomers, and plastic-additives to organisms with uncertain consequences for their health. Here, we show that microplastic contaminates the shorelines at 18 sites worldwide representing six continents from the poles to…

Environmental Science & Technology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Environmental Science & Technology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Environmental Science & Technology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Environmental Science & Technology use?
Environmental Science & Technology uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Environmental Science & Technology 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Environmental Science & Technology?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Environmental Science & Technology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Environmental Science & Technology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Environmental Science & Technology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Environmental Science & Technology?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Environmental Science & Technology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Environmental Science & Technology template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Environmental Science & Technology template cost?
You can start writing in the Environmental Science & Technology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Environmental Science & Technology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
