      Discovery of a Novel Microorganism that Completely Detoxifies Chloroethenes to Ethene  
     

    Industrial discharges of chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) pose a serious threat to human health and the environment due to their potential carcinogenic effects and persistence in the environment.

    		  
       
         
     

    		 
      Estimation of PFOS and PFOA Contamination in Singapore and Its Proposed Treatment by Membrane  
     

    Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been manufactured for over 50 years and, due to their unique properties of repelling both water and oil, have been used as surfactants and surface protectors in carpets, leather, paper, food containers, fabric, and upholstery and as performance chemicals in products such as fire-fighting foams, floor polishes, and shampoos.
