A nine-year study on the temporal changes of licit and illicit drug use patterns as revealed from the chemical analysis of influent wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of Athens
Galani K., Alygizakis N., Borova V., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Daily flow-proportional composite influent wastewater was collected from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Athens during a nine-year sampling campaign (2010-2019). Analytes in influent wastewater are markers of the consumption and the exposure of the chemicals in the population. Wastewater...Read more
NORMAN Non-target screening (NTS) prioritisation scheme for ranking thousands of contaminants of emerging concern in effluent wastewater collected from Europe
(Corresponding) Alygizakis N., Dulio V., Von der Ohe P., Slobodnik J., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Prioritisation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) remains a challenging task of primary importance for environmental managers and the scientific community as regards the definition of priority actions for pollution prevention & control and for the allocation of resources to address...Read more

Development of a non-target screening workflow for the evaluation of micropollutants fate during oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Huynh N., Le Roux J., Guyot J., Moilleron R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Non-target screening (NTS) is of great interest for environmental monitoring because it enables the screening of numerous pollutants, including unknown products. However, methods to identify unknowns are still time-consuming and only deal with a limited portion of the signal. The objective of this...Read more
Mitigating the impact of antineoplastic drugs on aquatic environment: nanofiltration as a promising tertiary wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gouveia T., Cristóvão B., Pereira V., Crespo J., Alves A., Ribeiro A., Silva A., Santos M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pharmaceuticals known as antineoplastic agents are increasingly prescribed in the fight against cancer. This is causing some concern in the scientific community due their poor treatment in many conventional wastewater treatment plants and poor environmental biodegradability, posing a potential risk...Read more
