Decreased Soil Water Content Effects on the Toxicity of Triclosan to Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)
(Corresponding) Miskelyte D., Zaltauskaite J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Due to the rising amounts of antimicrobial agents in the environment and the lack of knowledge on their ecotoxicity, there is growing concern regarding their effects on the environment. One of the most widely used antibacterial compounds in both personal care and pharmaceutical products is...Read more
Growth and biochemical responses of earthworms (Dendrobaena veneta) exposed to tetracycline
(Corresponding) Žaltauskaitė J., Miškelytė D., Sujetovienė G., Dikšaitytė A., Januškaitienė I., Kzacienė G., Dagiliūtė R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Veterinary antibiotics have received growing attention in recent years as emerging terrestrial contaminants. Livestock, animal manure and slurry land application are the main routes for veterinary antibiotics to enter the soil environment. Widespread use and distribution of tetracyclines poses a...Read more
Antineoplastic drugs in surface waters: presence, exposure, and risk.
(Corresponding) Gouveia T., Mota I., Silva A., Alves A., Santos M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Antineoplastic drugs are highly toxic pharmaceuticals used during chemotherapy. Their presence in surface waters has been reported worldwide, increasing environmental and human health concerns. This work estimates the risks from the exposure of humans to antineoplastic drugs via surface waters in a...Read more
Keywords:
surface waters, cytotoxics, cytostatic drugs, risk assessment, human exposure.
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
Keywords:
Real sewage, innovative technologies, organic micropollutants, antibiotic resistances.
Feature-based molecular networking and in silico structure annotation/classification of LC-HRMS data unfold the chemodiversity of cyanobacteria in environmental samples.
Iliakopoulou S., Zervou S., Triantis T., Hiskia A., (Corresponding) Kaloudis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Freshwater cyanobacteria are prominent sources of structurally diverse natural compounds. Bioactive cyanometabolites are particularly relevant to water quality and public health protection. Non-targeted analysis (NTA) by liquid chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) is applied...Read more
Effects of parabens exposure on drinking water bacteria
(Corresponding) Pereira A., Gomes I., Simões M.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Parabens are considered emerging contaminants that are frequently detected in water sources. Besides being detected in drinking water (DW) at residual concentrations, their effects on DW microbial quality and safety have been disregarded so far. This work assesses for the first time the impact of...Read more
Assessing the performance of an integrated column system containing zero valent iron nanoparticles and sodium persulfate solution for the removal of emerging contaminants from different wastewater matrices – Identification of transformation products
(Corresponding) Barka E., Nika M., Galani A., Mamais D., Thomaidis N., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment has raised the scientific concern because of their continuous discharge, their bioaccumulation and their potential adverse toxicological impacts on both aquatic organisms and human health. The present study has been focused in the...Read more
Keywords:
micropollutants, nano zero valent iron, sodium persulfate, post-treatment, transformation products
Lateral and vertical variations of pharmaceutical contaminants in natural aquatic systems
(Corresponding) Mariano S., Singh R., Angeles L., Aga D., Jaraula C.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The detection of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in environmental matrices raised concerns over their short- and long-term effects on the ecosystem. Wastewater is the primary carrier of PPCPs to the environment in highly urbanized regions. In the Philippines, Manila Bay serves as...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

Fate Of Nitrofurans: Photochemistry, Transformation Products And Toxicity Evaluation In Surface Water Systems
Efthymiou C., Boti V., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Nitrofurans (NFs) consist a group of broad-spectrum antibiotic compounds provided as a basic dietary supplement in livestock husbandry as swine farms, beekeeping and aquaculture. Among nitrofurans furaltadone (FTD) is an antibiotic with a protective effect against bacterial and protozoan infections...Read more
