Occurrence and spatiotemporal variability of sunscreen agents along the polish part of the Baltic Sea coast

(Corresponding) ASTEL A., STEC M., ASTEL K.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
UV-filters accumulate in tissues of aquatic organisms and induce negative effects on fertility and reproduction. Since they are “new emerging pollutants” general monitoring programs are rare and mainly conducted in touristic places, where high temperatures are recorded throughout the year (Spain,...Read more

Extended suspect screening to identify organic micropollutants and their transformation products as potential markers of wastewater contamination in riverine and coastal ecosystems

ČELIĆ M., JAEN A., BRICEÑO-GUEVARA S., RODRIGUEZ-MOZAZ S., (Corresponding) GROS M., PETROVIĆ M.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
In this study, a comprehensive suspect screening of organic micropollutants (MPs), and some of their transformation products (TPs) and metabolites, was performed in waste, river and coastal waters from the Ebro Delta region (Catalonia, Spain). For this purpose, an automated suspect screening...Read more

Mass balance of selected pharmaceuticals in an Austrian river catchment area: estimation of the different source contributions

Andrea G., (Corresponding) Paola V., Olivia Z., Matthias Z.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The study refers to the assessment of the annual loadings of two pharmaceuticals (sulphamethoxazole and carbamazepine) released in the river of an Austrian catchment area (108,000 inhabitants, 404 km2) by different pathways: wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, combined sewage overflows (...Read more

Effect of chain length on the pyrolysis of perfluorocarboxylic acids

(Corresponding) Dixon L., Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Lucas J., Grimison C., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., (Corresponding) Kennedy E.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) are increasingly becoming the contamination issue of our time, due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and mounting evidence of their toxicity. Herein we examined the pyrolytic decomposition of a series of perfluorocarboxylic acids via the...Read more

Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water

(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more

Removal of PFAS from wastewater by bio-waste adsorbent: material characterization and adsorption kinetic study

(Corresponding) Bavasso I., Bracciale M., Sbardella F., Di Palma L., Marco S.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are considered emerging contaminants and have been increased their attention due to their distribution in water body. These compounds are acid and characterized by a thermal stability to make them resistant to degradation processes. Activities such as...Read more

Triclosan occurrence in European Sewage Treatment Plants and risk assessment for the European rivers

Thomaidi V., Matsoukas C., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The purpose of this study was to estimate the environmental risk associated with the existence of triclosan (TCS) released from municipal wastewater in the European rivers. A literature review was held to record the concentration levels of TCS in effluents of European Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs...Read more

Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
This work identified transformation products (TPs) from 5 antibiotics and 1 analgesic, namely enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin, danofloxacin, amoxicillin, penicillin G and dexamethasone, respectively, present in spiked real piggery wastewater (PWW) before and after two different treatments in two open...Read more

Analysis of degradation of the micropollutant amoxicillin by photolysis and evaluation of the degradation products

(Corresponding) Hoehne L., Vettorello G., Ethur E., Kuhn D., Freitas E., Steffens C.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Emerging micro pollutants are substances that have recently been identified in environmental matrices, of which information on environmental permanence and toxicity is still scarce. Because of their chemical structure, antibiotics are more stable and require more complex processes for degradation...Read more
