A nine-year study on the temporal changes of licit and illicit drug use patterns as revealed from the chemical analysis of influent wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of Athens
Galani K., Alygizakis N., Borova V., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Daily flow-proportional composite influent wastewater was collected from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Athens during a nine-year sampling campaign (2010-2019). Analytes in influent wastewater are markers of the consumption and the exposure of the chemicals in the population. Wastewater...Read more
Combining consumption-based approach and chemical analysis for identifying pharmaceuticals occurrence in hospital wastewater
Iliopoulou A., Gyparakis S., Arvaniti O., Sabathianakis I., Karagiannis E., Nika M., Thomaidis N., Kanellopoulou N., Thrassyvoulos M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
This study aims to compare and correlate the concentrations of pharmaceutical found in hospital wastewater via chemical analysis with those estimated based on consumption data. For this reason, wastewater samples were collected from different points of the sewerage system serving a Greek hospital...Read more
Monitoring illicit stimulant drug use in Cyprus during the COVID-19 lockdown by UPLC-MS/MS
Psichoudaki M., Trapali A., Hapeshi E., Karaolia P., Savvidou M., Mina C., Michael C., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic:
Wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor covid-19 outbreak: present and future diagnostic methods to be in your radar
The occurrence and spread of the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2 at the end of 2019, has led WHO to announce the outbreak of a pandemic. Restriction measures were taken from authorities globally, in order to impede its spread. In Cyprus, a strict lockdown period was implemented on the 24th March of...Read more

Clean water – Healthy city. Using of WBE for monitoring of the consumption of illicit drugs in the city Prague
(Corresponding) Očenášková V., Tušil P., Marešová D., Pospíchalová D., Cielecká N.
Topic:
City metabolism or areas metabolism
The results of the three years long project named Municipal wastewater as a diagnostic medium of the capital city of Prague are presented. The post informs about regular, almost two-year long monitoring of municipal wastewater at selected sampling points of the Prague sewerage network. In addition...Read more
Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology
Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

SARS-Cov-2 in wastewater: a seven-month period of monitoring infection dynamic in Athens
Kontou A., Galani A., Kostakis M., Markou A., Lianidou E., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Wastewater-based epidemiology to monitor covid-19 outbreak: present and future diagnostic methods to be in your radar
Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread rapidly all over the world with considerable morbidity and mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infections are accompanied by the shedding of virus in feces of both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, indicating that Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE) is an...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

Analysis of the Sars-COVID 19 trend: from time series to visibility graphs
(Corresponding) Simone A., Cesaro A., Esposito G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Sars COVID-19 epidemic continues to represent a relevant and current topic, which is of concern mainly with respect to possible variants. Predictive monitoring can address the need to reduce the risk of spreading the virus, but it needs to rely on non-invasive, as well as effective and inexpensive...Read more
