Human exposure to PFCs by drinking water

Thomaidi V., Tsahouridou A., (Corresponding) Petreas M., Stasinakis A., (Corresponding) Kalantzi O.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

The purposes of this study were to investigate the presence and potential health risks of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in drinking water. An extended literature review was initially conducted to collect monitoring data of PFCs in drinking water, worldwide. In order to assess the potential risk...Read more

Rapid bacteria detection in drinking water samples with on-chip Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

(Corresponding) Angelopoulou M., Petrou P., Misiakos K., Raptis I., Kakabakos S.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

Drinking water contamination by pathogenic bacteria poses a great danger for public health, since according to WHO 5 million deaths are associated to water related diseases annually. To safeguard drinking water quality, several techniques for bacteria detection, such as culturing and plating, ELISA...Read more

To Regulate or Not to Regulate? What to Do With More Toxic Disinfection By-Products?

(Corresponding) Richardson S., Plewa M., Wagner E., Krasner S., Liberatore H., Jia A., Guo Y.

Topic:

Drinking water safety

Drinking water disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an unintended consequence of using chemical disinfectants to kill harmful pathogens in water. DBPs are formed by the reaction of disinfectants with naturally occurring organic matter, bromide, and iodide, as well as from anthropogenic pollutants,...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
