11. Influence of hydrochemical parameters on the mobility and redistribution of metals from a mine waste deposit
Abstract : The aim of the research presented in this thesis has been to combine theoretical and empirical methods to describe chemical attenuation of trace metals (i.e. Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) in a polluted watershed. It was possible to elucidate the major mechanisms by using the naturalvariations of chemical composition of the system. READ MORE

15. Phthalates in landfill leachates : a signature of their degradation: Analytical aspects & toxicological considerations
Abstract : Phthalic acid diesters comprise a large group of organic compounds that are used to manufacture a variety of products all over the world, and this has raised concerns about the fate of these compounds in the environment. The diester-containing products often end up in landfills, where they are degraded by various micro-organisms, which gives rise to transient intermediates such as phthalic acid monoesters and ortho-phthalic acid.
