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

Combined use of anaerobic and aerobic moving bed biofilm reactors for micropollutants’ removal from wastewater

Kora E., Theodorelou D., Herpich A., Gatidou G., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

A novel laboratory-scale continuous flow wastewater treatment system, consisting of an anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) and an aerobic MBBR, was used for investigating the removal of hydroxybenzothiazole (OH-BTH) and selected benzotriazoles from municipal wastewater. The system was...Read more

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

Ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole biotransformation products in anaerobic packed bed biofilm reactor applied to the sanitary sewage treatment

(Corresponding) Carneiro R., Sabatini C., Titato G., Ferreira T., Zaiat M., Santos-Neto Á.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The presence of antibiotics in the environment has received a lot of attention in recent years due to their ability to promote and spread antimicrobial resistance. In this work, the biodegradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), as well as the concurrently...Read more

The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions

(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...Read more

(Corresponding) Cingiroglu F., Emadian S., Tezel U., Kaynak B.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

This study focuses on investigation the spatial distribution of pollutants in Çorlu Stream is the highest industrialized tributary of Ergene River which is one of the most polluted rivers in Turkey. A total of 250 conventional, metal and micropollutants were scanned at eleven sampling locations for...Read more
