Microbiological cleanup of groundwater contaminated by pentachlorophenol.
TLDR
The widespread use of PCP and PCP-treated products has led to its broad distribution in the environment and environmental contamination with PCP is of concern both as an ecological threat and as a public health menace.
Microbial degradation of chlorinated phenols
Adsorption of parathion and paraoxon by modified montmorillonites
Montmorillonites modified with tetradecyltrimethylammonium and trimethylphenyl ammonium and the hydroxy‐Al polymer were studied as sorbents for organophosphorus pesticides parathion and paraoxon in…

Confirmation of oxidative dehalogenation of pentachlorophenol by a Flavobacterium pentachlorophenol hydroxylase
TLDR
The results clearly demonstrate that PCP is oxidatively converted to TeCH by a monooxygenase-type enzyme from Flavobacterium sp.
The Life‐Cycle of Chlorine, Part IV
Some cyclic organo‐chlorines share key characteristics to a significant degree, notably volatility, solubility in lipids, environmental persistence, a tendency to bioaccumulation, and toxicity to…

Pentachlorophenol: Environmental partitioning and human exposure
TLDR
Results show that PCP partitions mainly into soil (96.5%) and that the food chain, especially fruits, vegetables, and grains, accounts for 99.9% of human exposure to PCP.
Degradation of pentachlorophenol by nanoscale Fe and Ni/Fe particles
Pentachlorophenol (PCP), a notoriously recalcitrant and toxic organic contaminant, was investigated for its degradation with nanoscale Fe and Ni/Fe particles. Compared with the bare nano Fe, the…
