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
Screening of 102 organic pollutants in groundwater along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in China by GC×GC-TOFMS
(Corresponding) Rao Z., liang m., Liu L., Gong J., Zhu T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Screening of 102 organic pollutants in groundwater along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in China by GC×GC-TOFMS. A total of 45 samples were collected. The targets of the investigation involve multiple types of organic pollutants such as Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their...Read more
Effect of water extractable organic matter from Pamvotis lake sediment on three psychoactive drugs under simulated solar light
JİMÉNEZ-HOLGADO C., (Corresponding) SAKKAS V., RICHARD C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Psychoactive drugs are classified as contaminants of emerging concern but there is limited information on their fate in surface waters. Here, we studied the fate of three drugs (sertraline, clozapine and citalopram) upon irradiation in the presence of the Pamvotis lake organic matter (WEOM)...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
Investigation of the presence of organic micropollutants in biota specimens from the Antarctica ecosystem using state-of-the-art wide-scope target and suspect HRMS methodologies.
Gkotsis G., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Orfanioti A., Athanasopoulou A., Alygizakis N., Oswald P., Slobodnik J., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The contamination of the aquatic ecosystem with organic micropollutants due to anthropogenic activities, over the last decades, is a well-known issue. Due to the frequent detection of these chemicals in various environmental compartments, they are considered as potential threats to the aquatic...Read more

Development and validation of a novel analytical protocol for the simultaneous determination of organic micropollutants in biota specimens by GC-APCI-QToF MS.
Orfanioti A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
During the last decades, overwhelming evidence has shown that various xenobiotic compounds have been released into the environment, due to anthropogenic activities. The term “Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)” has been established for organic chemicals that are resistant to degradation,...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

Occurrence and fate of OMPs and ARGs in innovative full-scale WWTPs
(Corresponding) Rivadulla M., Suarez S., Garrido J., Omil F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of antibiotic resistance determinants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) presents a potential risk for human health and for the environment (Manaia et al., 2018). The scientific knowledge related to this topic is still limited, while new technologies are being implemented to reduce...Read more

Unveiling the occurrence of organic micropollutants in different species of terrestrial mesocarnivores utilizing HRMS techniques
Boinis N., Diamanti K., Panagopoulou E., Gkotsis G., Maragkou N., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Höpker K., Schäfer H., Wieczorek M., Osterauer R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The introduction of organic micropollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which mainly originate from anthropogenic activities, is supported by overwhelming evidence from global studies conducted as early as the turn of the 20th century. A fraction of these xenobiotics, the regulated “...Read more
