NORMAN Non-target screening (NTS) prioritisation scheme for ranking thousands of contaminants of emerging concern in effluent wastewater collected from Europe
(Corresponding) Alygizakis N., Dulio V., Von der Ohe P., Slobodnik J., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Prioritisation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) remains a challenging task of primary importance for environmental managers and the scientific community as regards the definition of priority actions for pollution prevention & control and for the allocation of resources to address...Read more

Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls at Dilijan Landfills (Republic of Armenia)
(Corresponding) Aleksandryan A., KHACHATRYAN A., Bunyatyan Y.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are substances of wide distribution, high toxicity, persistence, and ability to long-distance migration. They are characterized by unique properties: temperature stability; high boiling point; non-combustibility; resistance to chemical and physical influences; high...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
Detection of cyanobacterial toxins and oligopeptides from the Polemidia Dam in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Keliri E., Antoniou M., Edwards C., Mazur-Marzec H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are becoming more spatially persistent worldwide. The formation and release, through cell-death and/or excretion, of bioactive metabolites (cyanotoxins) is comprising a reoccurring concern to environmental protection agencies. Cyanotoxins can negatively impact...Read more

Development and application of methods for the determination of pesticide residues in natural waters and sediments, coupled to GC-MS
(Corresponding) KAPSI M., SAKKAS V., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The main objectives of this study were to develop rapid and accurate screening multiresidue pesticide methods on the basis of Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) technique for the determination of 10 pesticides in water samples and on the basis of QuEChERS technique regarding sediments samples. The target...Read more
Biological activity of flufenamic acid and synthesized derivates (PFCs) that may occur in the environment
(Corresponding) Šilha D., Šilarová P., Weidlich T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used in the field of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, impregnating agents, etc. These are predominantly compounds that are difficult to degradate in the environment, and therefore are highly persistent. Many these compounds are known to have toxic effects and thus a...Read more
Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat
Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more
Effects of sunscreens on plants: Impact of TiO2 nanoparticles on the phytoremediation of oxybenzone
(Corresponding) Schröder P., Chen F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Increasing levels of sunscreens have been found in surface waters, and in waste water. In most cases mixtures of organic and inorganic sunscreen compounds can be detected. Wetland plants, and vegetation along shores have been used as biological filters for this kind of pollution along beaches, and...Read more
Sampling Strategies of Microplastic in Stormwater Runoff from Separate Drainage Systems
(Corresponding) Abusafia A., Scheid C., Meurer M., Altmann K., Braun U., Bannick C., Dittmer U., Steinmetz H.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of microplastic in terrestrial and water environments can be traced back to anthropogenic activities. Urban drainage systems play a role in transporting microplastic from urban sources into receiving waters or soils. The analysis (including sampling, sample preparation and detection...Read more

Evidence of marine plastic particles transfer to the atmosphere through bubble bursting.
Masry M., (Corresponding) Rossignol S., Temime Roussel B., R'mili B., Bussière P., Bourgogne D., Wong-Wah-Chung P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Plastic debris in the marine environment are the subject of an extensive literature. According to studies dedicated to the determination of plastic litter abundance, models were used to estimate the global plastic debris abundance and to simulate their transfer and distribution. Despite these...Read more
