Combining consumption-based approach and chemical analysis for identifying pharmaceuticals occurrence in hospital wastewater

Iliopoulou A., Gyparakis S., Arvaniti O., Sabathianakis I., Karagiannis E., Nika M., Thomaidis N., Kanellopoulou N., Thrassyvoulos M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

This study aims to compare and correlate the concentrations of pharmaceutical found in hospital wastewater via chemical analysis with those estimated based on consumption data. For this reason, wastewater samples were collected from different points of the sewerage system serving a Greek hospital...Read more

Investigating the accumulation of 115 pharmaceutical compounds in the water-soil-plant continuum and the leaching potential using lysimeters irrigated with wastewater from a CAS and MBR system, under real-field conditions

Iakovides I., Beretsou V., Christou A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse for irrigation is recognized as one of the indispensable practices for the mitigation of water scarcity. However, the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in TWW act as a limiting factor in effectively applying the reuse practices. The possible uptake...Read more

Occurrence and potential accumulation of pharmaceuticals in agricultural soils treated with wastewater under real-world environmental conditions in Cyprus

Beretsou V., Iakovides I., Nika M., Gkotsis G., Christou A., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Due to water supply shortages that result from climate change, urbanization, regional droughts and pollution, treated wastewater (TWW) is commonly used to irrigate agricultural land in arid and semi-arid regions. Compared to aquatic systems, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) only scarcely...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

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

How to estimate biocide mass loads in urban water discharges and their impact on the river contamination?

(Corresponding) BRESSY A., PAIJENS C., TEDOLDI D., FRERE B., MAILLER R., ROCHER V., MOILLERON R.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Biocidal substances are ubiquitous in urban areas; they are used as preservatives in daily products, building materials, and as domestic pesticides. Despite these facts, urban sources of biocides, contrary to agricultural inputs, have been overlooked in terms of environmental risk assessment. The...Read more

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology

Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more
