The presence of organochlorinated pesticides in the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea: A Systematic Review

TZOURTZOUKLI H., PETSAS A., (Corresponding) VAGI M.

Topic:

Marine environment and coastal management

Plant protection products, also known as pesticides, are chemical compounds that are used for the protcection of plants against pests, weeds and diseases which affect the quantinty and quality of agricultural products. The present study is a systematic review of the scientific literature regarding...Read more

The role of microbiological community on organic micropollutants biotransformation in anoxic conditions

(Corresponding) Martinez-Quintela M., Balboa S., Suárez S., Omil F.

Topic:

Emerging pollutants

Information about the biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in biological systems is currently scarce, particularly in anoxic environments. A lab-scale reactor was set up to elucidate which is the biological mechanism driving OMPs biotransformation in heterotrophic denitrifying...Read more

Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor: A Correlation between Biofilm Thickness and Removal of Pharmaceuticals and Endocrinal Disruptor Compounds

(Corresponding) Sanchez-Huerta C., Fortunato L., Leiknes T., Hong P.

Topic:

Wastewater treatment

Removal of thirteen pharmaceuticals and endocrinal disruptor compounds via membrane aerated biofilm reactor was tested. MABR system demonstrated good management of nitrogenous nutrients. An increase in biofilm thickness enhanced the removal of analgesics, hormones, and disinfectants.

Keywords:

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
