Triclosan occurrence in European Sewage Treatment Plants and risk assessment for the European rivers

Thomaidi V., Matsoukas C., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The purpose of this study was to estimate the environmental risk associated with the existence of triclosan (TCS) released from municipal wastewater in the European rivers. A literature review was held to record the concentration levels of TCS in effluents of European Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs...Read more

Human exposure to PFCs by drinking water

Thomaidi V., Tsahouridou A., (Corresponding) Petreas M., Stasinakis A., (Corresponding) Kalantzi O.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

The purposes of this study were to investigate the presence and potential health risks of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in drinking water. An extended literature review was initially conducted to collect monitoring data of PFCs in drinking water, worldwide. In order to assess the potential risk...Read more

Environmental genotoxicity and risk assessment in herring (Clupea harengus), Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and flounder (Platichthys flesus) caught in the Gotland Basins from the Baltic Sea (2010-2017)

(Corresponding) Pažusienė J., Valskienė R., Stankevičiūtė M., Butrimavičienė L., Baršienė J.

Topic:

Biomonitoring

The Gotland Basins are mostly polluted by anthracene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, cesium-137, DDE, dioxins, mercury and TBT. These chemicals have toxic, carcinogenic and immunotoxic effect to marine animals. After the World War II chemical weapons (CW) were transported from Germany and...Read more

Pharmaceutical residues in hospital and urban wastewaters: Occurrence, removal and potential risk assessment

Martinaiou P., Trantopoulos E., (Corresponding) Kosma C., Albanis T.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The presence of ten pharmaceutical compounds (bupropion, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, sertraline, citalopram, caffeine, triclosan, carbamazepine, diazepam, clozapine) which belong to different treatment categories was studied in one hospital and three urban WWTPs in north and northwestern Greece. The...Read more

Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat

Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more
