• Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: ozone or powdered activated carbon? (2013, background): “Activated carbon allows removal of a broad spectrum of micropollutants via adsorption to its high specific surface area and is thus widely used in drinking water treatment (Snyder et al., 2007; Westerhoff et al., 2005).”
• Efficiency of conventional drinking-water-treatment processes in removal of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. (2007, methodology): “Chlorinated byproducts likely to form during the reaction of these compounds with NaClO (Pinkston and Sedlak, 2004; Coupe and Blomquist, 2004) were not measured in this study.”
• A review on the occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment and their fate and removal during wastewater treatment. (2014, background): “Westerhoff et al. (2005) revealed micropollutant removal was improved with higher PAC dosages (20 mg/L) and independent of the initial compound concentrations.”
• Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater. (2012, background): “Westerhoff et al. (2005) reviewed the effectiveness of a range of drinking water treatment processes for emerging contaminants on the laboratory scale.”
• Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review. (2013, background): “The removal of antibiotics by activated carbon has been reported during wastewater treatment in some studies (Adams et al., 2002; Westerhoff et al., 2005; Putra et al., 2009; Rivera-Utrilla et al., 2009; McArdell et al., 2011; Boehler et al., 2012).”
