Investigation of food additives readily biodegradability in respirometric tests
Vazaiou N., (Corresponding) Gatidou G., Arvaniti O., Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The biodegradability of fourteen (14) food additives, belonging to different groups such as artificial sweeteners, preservatives and coloring agents, was evaluated using the OECD 301F protocol (manometric respirometry test). According to the results, seven out of fourteen compounds, namely...Read more
A method to extract microplastics from river sediments (bed, bank and floodplain)
(Corresponding) Prume J., Schömann E., Chifflard P., Koch M.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
Identifying and quantifying microplastics in the environment is fundamental to develop effective mitigation strategies. So far, microplastic research has focused on marine environments and large streams. However, smaller rivers, often adjacent to waste sources as agricultural areas and waste water...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
