Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls at Dilijan Landfills (Republic of Armenia)
(Corresponding) Aleksandryan A., KHACHATRYAN A., Bunyatyan Y.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are substances of wide distribution, high toxicity, persistence, and ability to long-distance migration. They are characterized by unique properties: temperature stability; high boiling point; non-combustibility; resistance to chemical and physical influences; high...Read more
Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat
Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more

Water quality monitoring in the Dnieper River Basin using advanced analytical methodologies
Diamanti K., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Kostakis M., Koupa A., Oswald P., Cirka L., Slobodnik J., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The Dnieper River Basin is the main freshwater resource for Ukraine. Despite being used as source for drinking water, its water quality does not always meet the environmental standards. The basin is highly affected by regional and transboundary (from western Russia and Belarus) anthropogenic...Read more

Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
Sensitive method for the simultaneous detection of ten azole contaminants in water samples by SPE-LC-MS/MS
Iancu V., (Corresponding) Tenea A., Chiriac F., Pirvu F., Serban G., Cojocaru V., Vasile G.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
A new analytical method was developed for the determination of azole contaminants from environmental samples (surface water, drinking water, wastewater) by solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantification. The separation of the compounds...Read more
