Determination of pharmaceutical residues in natural waters using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry

KIFOKERI D., NANNOU C., (Corresponding) BOTI V., ALBANIS T.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The presence of residual pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is an important environmental issue. Since the drugs are designed to cause biological responses, they could pose a risk to organisms in their natural environment. In this study, the presence of selected pharmaceutical compounds (...Read more

Pharmaceutical residues in hospital and urban wastewaters: Occurrence, removal and potential risk assessment

Martinaiou P., Trantopoulos E., (Corresponding) Kosma C., Albanis T.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The presence of ten pharmaceutical compounds (bupropion, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, sertraline, citalopram, caffeine, triclosan, carbamazepine, diazepam, clozapine) which belong to different treatment categories was studied in one hospital and three urban WWTPs in north and northwestern Greece. The...Read more

Biodegradation of pharmaceuticals by bacteria isolated from estuarine environment - cleanup technologies through nature based processes

(Corresponding) Fernandes J., Duarte P., Almeida C., Carvalho M., Mucha A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

New sustainable technologies are needed to tackle pharmaceuticals contamination in different environmental compartments. Bioremediation technology, using native microorganisms with capacity for partial or complete elimination of contaminants, can be considered. This work investigated the capability...Read more

A nine-year study on the temporal changes of licit and illicit drug use patterns as revealed from the chemical analysis of influent wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of Athens

Galani K., Alygizakis N., Borova V., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Daily flow-proportional composite influent wastewater was collected from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Athens during a nine-year sampling campaign (2010-2019). Analytes in influent wastewater are markers of the consumption and the exposure of the chemicals in the population. Wastewater...Read more

Combining consumption-based approach and chemical analysis for identifying pharmaceuticals occurrence in hospital wastewater

Iliopoulou A., Gyparakis S., Arvaniti O., Sabathianakis I., Karagiannis E., Nika M., Thomaidis N., Kanellopoulou N., Thrassyvoulos M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

This study aims to compare and correlate the concentrations of pharmaceutical found in hospital wastewater via chemical analysis with those estimated based on consumption data. For this reason, wastewater samples were collected from different points of the sewerage system serving a Greek hospital...Read more

Investigating the accumulation of 115 pharmaceutical compounds in the water-soil-plant continuum and the leaching potential using lysimeters irrigated with wastewater from a CAS and MBR system, under real-field conditions

Iakovides I., Beretsou V., Christou A., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Treated wastewater (TWW) reuse for irrigation is recognized as one of the indispensable practices for the mitigation of water scarcity. However, the presence of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in TWW act as a limiting factor in effectively applying the reuse practices. The possible uptake...Read more

Occurrence and potential accumulation of pharmaceuticals in agricultural soils treated with wastewater under real-world environmental conditions in Cyprus

Beretsou V., Iakovides I., Nika M., Gkotsis G., Christou A., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Due to water supply shortages that result from climate change, urbanization, regional droughts and pollution, treated wastewater (TWW) is commonly used to irrigate agricultural land in arid and semi-arid regions. Compared to aquatic systems, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) only scarcely...Read more

Investigation of the performance of green nano Zero Valent Iron for the removal of emerging contaminants from water

(Corresponding) Panagou I., Noutsopoulos C., Barka E., Mystrioti C., Koumaki E., Mamais D., Papassiopi N., Malamis S.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Nano Zero Valent Iron (nZVI) is considered as a promising nanomaterial for the removal of a wide range of recalcitrant pollutants from contaminated water and soil. Due to its high reactivity, large surface area, its catalytic and reductive properties along with the ability to be produced at low...Read more

EXTRACTION AND DETERMINATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS ADSORBED INTO MICROPLASTICS

Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The role that heterotrophs present in activated sludge play in the removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has not been clearly elucidated despite their increasing relevance in the conception of novel wastewater treatment plant technologies.
