Paleolimnological approach infers past environmental changes archived in lake sediments of Bukit Merah Reservoir, Malaysia.
Akogwu S., (Corresponding) Wan Maznah W., McGowan S., Luki S., Fielding J.
Topic:
Ecological effects of environmental change
Human activities in the watershed of Bukit Merah Reservoir, have significantly increased, placing unprecedented pressure on this important system. However, long-term records of the ecological effects are scarce. Thus, this research aims to examine the impact of human-induced environmental change on...Read more

Ethical considerations of participatory modelling in the context of sustainable development
(Corresponding) Amorocho-Daza H., van der Zaag P., Susnik J.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Sustainable development deals with grand challenges related to human well-being and environmental sustainability. Assessing sustainability initiatives goes beyond technical solutions and requires the engagement and deliberation of multiple stakeholders. Participatory modelling is a promising...Read more

The chemical exposome in maternal blood and placenta and the potential use of sewage sludge to prioritize hazardous substances
Gil-Solsona R., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Bustamante M., Villanueva C., Gutiérrez-Martín D., Restrepo E., Foraster M., Gómez-Roig M., Llurba-Olive E., Sunyer J., Dadvand P., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P.
Topic:
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
Chemicals are part of our daily lives and we are exposed to numerous chemicals through multiple pathways. Relevant scientific evidence contributing to the regulation of hazardous chemicals require a holistic approach to assess simultaneous exposure to multiple compounds. Currently, the main way to...Read more

Development and application of a LC-HRMS method for the identification and quantification of CECs concern in urine
Gutiérrez-Martín D., Sánchez-Resino E., Restrepo E., Golovko O., López-Serna R., Marquès M., Aalizadeh R., Thomaidis N., Gago-Ferrero P., (Corresponding) Gil-Solsona R.
Topic:
Biomonitoring
Chemicals are everywhere in our daily lives, and we encounter them through various pathways. Human biomonitoring (HBM) is commonly used to understand our exposure to these chemicals. Traditionally, HBM focused on a limited number of chemicals analyzed with specific instruments. However, recent...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

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis Assisted by Portable Sensing Devices for Precise Assessment of Indoor Environmental Conditions
Bali N., Voultsidis D., (Corresponding) Gialelis Y.
Topic:
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Indoor air quality has become an emergent issue for human health since burdened outdoor environments, stagnant air conditions and indoor human activities (cooking, cleaning, etc.) increase the pollutant concentration. Some of the pollutants that interest the most for indoor environments are PM2.5,...Read more
Keywords:
