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

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

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

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

Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis using Micropollutant Measurements on the Most Polluted Tributary of Ergene River: Çorlu Stream
(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

Nation-wide monitoring campaign of 49 contaminants of emerging concern in surface waters and sediments (EMNAT 2018): occurrence and PNEC exceedance evaluation
(Corresponding) Assoumani A., Lestremau F., Ferret C., Lepot B., Le Gall M., Salomon M., Budzinski H., Dévier M., Labadie P., Le Menach K., Pardon P., Wiest L., Vulliet E., Staub P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The overall objective of the 2018 survey campaign of contaminants of emerging concern in surface waters (continental and coastal) and sediments known as EMNAT 2018, is to provide monitoring data for the emerging contaminants prioritization exercise, which will allow the update of the list of...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

Potential contaminants and risk assessment in the Meriç-Ergene Basin under the EU Water Framework Directive
(Corresponding) EKER S., ÇOKAY E.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The European Union's Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC provides a strategic solution to deal with chemical pollution in rivers. The directive encompasses monitoring and detection of 45 priority pollutants and specific contaminants found in surface waters. An increase in the number of...Read more
