Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:103Revealing water's secrets
The anomalous properties of water are of great interest to scientists. However the impact of the deuterium content has never been explored before. For the first time the fundamental properties of deuterium depleted water at 4 and 20°C are presented

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:75Silver nanoparticles in soils
Speciation results are acquired using a silver ion selective electrode in 3 soils. The study differentiates free silver ions from silver in the <0.45 µm fraction in soil solution and helps us understand how nanosilver reacts in soils.

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:51A review of fluoride removal from aqueous media
Fluoride is a persistent and non-biodegradable pollutant that accumulates in soil, plants, wildlife and in human beings. This review surveys the efficacy of different materials for the removal of fluoride from water

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:46Silver nanoparticles in sewage
The fate of AgNPs, which are increasingly found in consumer products and therefore wastewater, was investigated in sewage subjected to aerobic and anaerobic treatment, and the impact of AgNPs on microbial processes and communities was evaluated.

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:38Therapeutic potential of carnosine
Carnosine, a compound found in meat, has a range of beneficial properties, and may aid in the treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other age-related diseases. This review discusses the mechanisms that could accommodate the uniquely disparate effects of carnosine on cellular activity

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:15Ozonation of antidepressants in wastewater
The fate of 14 antidepressant drugs was examined in wastewater from a primary sewage treatment plant. It was found that ozonation of the effluent led to higher removal efficiencies than current primary treatment methods

Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:14pH-induced reversible assembly of DNA wrapped CNTs
A novel pH-induced reversible assembly and disassembly of single walled carbon nanotubes has been developed, which may have potential applications in the area of controlled assembly of nanostructures
