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 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

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

QSight-based method for the detection and quantification of polar contaminants in drinking water
(Corresponding) Mattern D., Stefan E., Becker T., Garaguso I.
Topic:
Drinking water safety
An analytical method covering various difficult polar contaminats such as chlorate, bromate, bromide, glyphosate and AMPA was successfully developed utilizing direct injection and ion exchange columns. Linearity could be obtained for each compound, with a dynamic range of 2-3 magnitudes and...Read more

Investigating the impact of landfill leachates in groundwater quality through the monitoring of multiclass emerging contaminants by LC-HRMS
(Corresponding) Nika M., Gkotsis G., Vasilatos K., Gkogkou A., Stasinakis A., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Due to their economic advantages, landfills are the primary repository of municipal solid wastes, receiving everyday by-products such as food wastes, plastic containers and product packaging materials, unused pharmaceuticals, textile and other products. As a result of the higher demand and better...Read more
