Development of a novel GC-APCI-QTOFMS methodology for the determination of more than 300 organic compounds in Asopos river water samples
Panagopoulou E., Nika M., Damalas D., Koulis G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The site of interest of this study is Asopos river which is located in Sterea Ellada, north of Athens, and passes through areas where 20% of total Greece industrial production takes place. The extensive installation of industries in the area near the river, and the uncontrolled disposal of...Read more

Screening thousands of emerging contaminants in Asopos river basin by UPLC-QToF-MS
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
Monitoring activities over several decades have revealed the ubiquitous presence of organic contaminants in environmental compartments. Asopos river basin, located in Sterea Ellada, has been the focus of many environmental studies over the last decades, mainly due to its geomorphology and the...Read more

Determination of more than 2,400 emerging contaminants in apex predators and their prey from European Specimen Banks and Natural History Museums by novel and complementary High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Techniques
Gkotsis G., Alygizakis N., Cincinelli A., Dekker R., Duke G., Glowacka N., Knopf B., Koschorreck J., Martellini T., Movalli P., Nika M., Nikolopoulou V., Rüdel H., Shore R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N., Treu G., Slobodnik J.
Topic:
General
Overwhelming evidence over many decades has shown that many organic compounds have been released in the environment due to anthropogenic activities. The term “chemicals of emerging concern (CEC)” has been established for chemicals, which are not subjected to marketing restrictions and regulatory...Read more

Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water Resources of EYDAP following wide-scope Target and Non-Target Screening
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Miskaki P., Kaloudis T., Deftereos N., Avagianos C., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The aim of the study was to perform extended monitoring of emerging contaminants in the water samples from three reservoirs of drinking water of EYDAP, Evinos, Mornos and Marathonas. Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) by mixed-mode sorbent was used during the sample preparation to ensure the extraction...Read more

Valorisation of polyolefins into magnetic carbon nanotubes: application as catalysts in wet peroxide oxidation of paracetamol
Sanches L., (Corresponding) dos Santos Silva A., Fontana Roman F., Diaz de Tuesta Triviño J., Alves da Silva F., Gomes H.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work deals with the application of magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) in the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of paracetamol (PCM), a pharmaceutical compound selected as model contaminant of emerging concern (CEC). MCNTs were synthetized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) at...Read more
Quantitative target screening and soil bioavailability assessment as tools to assess risks associated with wastewater reuse for irrigation
Beretsou V., Nika M., Manoli K., Lundy L., Thomaidis N., Revitt M., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Multi-residue analysis of various classes of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) present in wastewater, along with improvements in analytical methodologies, may allow for future application of promising wastewater tracers, thus providing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators and...Read more

Investigation of the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron for the removal of emerging contaminants from water
(Corresponding) Panagou I., Noutsopoulos C., Barka E., Mystrioti C., Koumaki E., Mamais D., Papassiopi N., Malamis S.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Nano Zero Valent Iron (nZVI) is considered as a promising nanomaterial for the removal of a wide range of recalcitrant pollutants from contaminated water and soil. Due to its high reactivity, large surface area, its catalytic and reductive properties along with the ability to be produced at low...Read more

Degradation of cytostatic drugs in water by ozonation
(Corresponding) Garcia-Costa A., Gouveia T., Pereira M., Silva A., Alves A., Madeira L., Santos M.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
This work presents the degradation of five cytostatics found in Portuguese WWTP effluents: bicalutamide (BICA), capecitabine (CAP), cyclophosphamide (CYC), ifosfamide (IFO) and mycophenolic acid (MPA) using non-catalytic ozonation. Experiments were performed with 1 µM of each cytostatic at pH: 7.3...Read more

Analyzing the impact of Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in L’Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain)
Sadutto D., Andreu V., Illo T., Akkanen J., (Corresponding) Picó Y.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
The Anthropocene is the new geological epoch in which persistent changes produced by anthropogenic forces in the Earth are occurring. The global change and pollution constitute the prevalent binomial that must be studied jointly to alleviate Anthropocene effects on the most sensitive ecosystems [1...Read more

Presence and removal of Organic Micropollutants in 8 different Wastewater Treatment Plants and Risk Assessment of treated effluent
(Corresponding) Di Marcantonio C., Chiavola A., Meccoli L., Leoni S., Calchetti T., Gioia V., Mancini M., Frugis A., Cecchini G., Ceci C., Spizzirri M., Boni M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Increasing attention has been paid in the recent years to the presence of Organic MicroPollutants (OMPs) in water, being considered a source of a high risk for public health and environment (Rodriguez-Narvaez et al., 2017). The present study belongs to a wide research activity carried out since...Read more
