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

Identification and quantification of organochlorine pesticides by GC-ECD in environmental matrices
(Corresponding) Cojocaru V., Cristea I.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
An analytical method for the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH (Lindane), δ-HCH, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endrin, DDT, DDD, DDE, Heptachlor, Chlordane, Endosulfan I and Endosulfan II) in environmental samples (wastewater, soil) uses liquid phase extraction and gas...Read more
