Smart Technologies for the Control of Emerging Contaminants in Ambient Air

(Corresponding) Galang M., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Air quality protection and control is an issue of growing interest. The aspects related to the spread of the coronavirus have accentuated this attention. Furthermore, among the emerging contaminants (EC’s) in ambient air, the microplastics (1 – 5 μm) are a great concern arising from anthropogenic...Read more

Determination of Watch List chemicals in Irish surface waters: Chemical occurrence and analytical method challenges.

(Corresponding) Regan F., Hands I., Rapp Wright H., O'Flynn D., Vickneswaren M., White B.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) which do not have adequate data on occurrence in the environment are being added to the Watch List under the Water Framework Directive. The WL contains multiple CECs or groups of CECs with differing chemistries which can make analysis of surface water samples...Read more

Current challenges and future perspectives on the use of contaminant data from apex predators for chemicals hazard prioritization

(Corresponding) Bauer K., Alygizakis N., Badry A., Cincinelli A., Claßen D., Dekker R., Drost W., Duke G., Glowacka N., Gkotsis G., Knopf B., Koschorreck J., Martellini T., Movalli P., Nika M., Nikolopoulou V., Rüdel H., Thomaidis N., Walker L., Treu G., Slobodnik J.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

One major challenge in today’s generic risk assessment is, that only a small fraction of the marketed chemicals has been sufficiently evaluated regarding their (eco)toxicological properties or exposure scenarios, while limited data are available for the majority of substances. For instance, many of...Read more

High resolution mass spectrometric non-target screening and wide-scope target analysis of emerging contaminants and target analysis of legacy contaminants in adult black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa in The Netherlands – preliminary findings

(Corresponding) Movalli P., Piersma T., Hooijmeijer J., Dekinga A., Howison R., Biesmeijer K., Dekker R., Alygizakis N., Gkotsis G., Kostakis M., Nika M., Thomaidis N.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Contaminant monitoring can elucidate exposure of bird populations (and other species in the same biotic communities) to chemical risks. Long-term monitoring of contaminants in birds can moreover be used to assess the effectiveness of chemical risk management measures, identify emerging contaminants...Read more

Ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole biotransformation products in anaerobic packed bed biofilm reactor applied to the sanitary sewage treatment

(Corresponding) Carneiro R., Sabatini C., Titato G., Ferreira T., Zaiat M., Santos-Neto Á.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

The presence of antibiotics in the environment has received a lot of attention in recent years due to their ability to promote and spread antimicrobial resistance. In this work, the biodegradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), as well as the concurrently...Read more

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of emerging substances that have proved to be persistent and highly bioaccumulative. They are widely used in industrial and consumer applications and are known for their long-distance migration and toxicity. In this study, 65 recent specimens...Read more
