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

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
Cometabolic removal of ibuprofen, diclofenac and ciprofloxacin driven by glycerol fermentation in an acidogenic biofilm reactor
(Corresponding) Carneiro R., Gomes G., Zaiat M., Santos-Neto Á.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of pharmaceuticals in wastewater has increasingly become a public health issue globally due to the potential impacts it can cause on the environment and public health. In this study, we sought to analyze the cometabolic effect of glycerol fermentation on the removal of ibuprofen (IBU...Read more
Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
Rapid adsorption of diclofenac by polyaniline-coated carbon nanofiber
Xu H., (Corresponding) Xia M., Wang F.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
In this work, polyaniline-coated carbon nanofiber with acid treatment (named CNFA@PANI) composite was synthesized and used to eliminate diclofenac from the water environment. Thanks to the abundant amino functional groups and benzene-ring structures, the as-prepared CNFA@PANI composite presented...Read more
Unveiling the occurrence of organic micropollutants in different species of terrestrial mesocarnivores utilizing HRMS techniques
Boinis N., Diamanti K., Panagopoulou E., Gkotsis G., Maragkou N., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Höpker K., Schäfer H., Wieczorek M., Osterauer R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The introduction of organic micropollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which mainly originate from anthropogenic activities, is supported by overwhelming evidence from global studies conducted as early as the turn of the 20th century. A fraction of these xenobiotics, the regulated “...Read more

Identification and quantification of organochlorine pesticides by GC-ECD in environmental matrices
(Corresponding) Cojocaru V., Cristea I.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
An analytical method for the determination of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) (α-HCH, β-HCH, γ-HCH (Lindane), δ-HCH, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endrin, DDT, DDD, DDE, Heptachlor, Chlordane, Endosulfan I and Endosulfan II) in environmental samples (wastewater, soil) uses liquid phase extraction and gas...Read more
