Determination of more than 2,400 emerging contaminants in apex predators and their prey from European Specimen Banks and Natural History Museums by novel and complementary High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Techniques
Gkotsis G., Alygizakis N., Cincinelli A., Dekker R., Duke G., Glowacka N., Knopf B., Koschorreck J., Martellini T., Movalli P., Nika M., Nikolopoulou V., Rüdel H., Shore R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N., Treu G., Slobodnik J.
Topic:
General
Overwhelming evidence over many decades has shown that many organic compounds have been released in the environment due to anthropogenic activities. The term “chemicals of emerging concern (CEC)” has been established for chemicals, which are not subjected to marketing restrictions and regulatory...Read more

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

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

Unveiling the occurrence of organic micropollutants in different species of terrestrial mesocarnivores utilizing HRMS techniques
Boinis N., Diamanti K., Panagopoulou E., Gkotsis G., Maragkou N., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Höpker K., Schäfer H., Wieczorek M., Osterauer R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The introduction of organic micropollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which mainly originate from anthropogenic activities, is supported by overwhelming evidence from global studies conducted as early as the turn of the 20th century. A fraction of these xenobiotics, the regulated “...Read more
