Investigating the impact of landfill leachates in groundwater quality through the monitoring of multiclass emerging contaminants by LC-HRMS

(Corresponding) Nika M., Gkotsis G., Vasilatos K., Gkogkou A., Stasinakis A., Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Due to their economic advantages, landfills are the primary repository of municipal solid wastes, receiving everyday by-products such as food wastes, plastic containers and product packaging materials, unused pharmaceuticals, textile and other products. As a result of the higher demand and better...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

Assessment of the pH-effect on the toxicity, uptake & biotransformation of Fluoxetine in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos by LC-ESI-QTOFMS

Panagopoulou E., Tzepkinli V., Damalas D., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Schulze P., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Over the recent decades, there is great interest from the scientific community in emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals. Previous studies have demonstrated that they are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, mainly due to insufficient removal by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In light of...Read more

Investigation of the influence of environmentally relevant pH values in the toxicity of the b-blocker Metoprolol in zebrafish (Danio Rerio) embryos through toxicokinetic approaches (uptake, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation)

Tzepkinli V., Panagopoulou E., Damalas D., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Hebel J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Recently, the release of emerging contaminants into the aquatic ecosystems has become an issue of concern among scientists since some of them are frequently detected in the environment at levels that may cause harm. One of the main categories of emerging contaminants is the human and veterinary...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

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology

Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

Toxicity, uptake, and biotransformation assessment of zebrafish embryos exposed to tetracaine, under different pH values, utilizing embryotoxicity and LC-HRMS

Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aleiferi E., Tzepkinli V., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Kuttler J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities, over the last decades. Given the large number of xenobiotics (such as pharmaceuticals), for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse...Read more
