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

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
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

Water quality monitoring in the Dnieper River Basin using advanced analytical methodologies
Diamanti K., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Kostakis M., Koupa A., Oswald P., Cirka L., Slobodnik J., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The Dnieper River Basin is the main freshwater resource for Ukraine. Despite being used as source for drinking water, its water quality does not always meet the environmental standards. The basin is highly affected by regional and transboundary (from western Russia and Belarus) anthropogenic...Read more

Antineoplastic drugs in surface waters: presence, exposure, and risk.
(Corresponding) Gouveia T., Mota I., Silva A., Alves A., Santos M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Antineoplastic drugs are highly toxic pharmaceuticals used during chemotherapy. Their presence in surface waters has been reported worldwide, increasing environmental and human health concerns. This work estimates the risks from the exposure of humans to antineoplastic drugs via surface waters in a...Read more
Keywords:
