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

Determination of Emerging Contaminants in Surface Water Resources of EYDAP following wide-scope Target and Non-Target Screening
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Miskaki P., Kaloudis T., Deftereos N., Avagianos C., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The aim of the study was to perform extended monitoring of emerging contaminants in the water samples from three reservoirs of drinking water of EYDAP, Evinos, Mornos and Marathonas. Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) by mixed-mode sorbent was used during the sample preparation to ensure the extraction...Read more

Wide-scope target analysis of >2,100 emerging contaminants in landfill leachates by LC-QTOFMS and investigation of their potential ecological threat
Nika M., Ntaiou K., Elytis K., Stasinakis A., Thomaidi V., Gatidou G., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Organic micropollutants are compounds which are normally detected at concentrations up to microgram per liter in the aquatic environment and they are considered to be potential threats to the ecosystem. Some of them have been studied in detail since 1980s and are already included in existing...Read more
Mobilisation of Arsenic in groundwater, Lesvos Island, Greece
(Corresponding) ZKERI E., ALOUPI M., GAGANIS P.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
In the present study, a geochemical analysis was conducted to investigate the As occurrence and release in groundwater from two different geological environments on Lesvos island: (i) the volcanic area of Mandamados (ignimbrite) and (ii) the metamorphic area of Tarti that comprises the geologic...Read more
AUTONONTARGET: AN R PACKAGE TO PERFORM AUTOMATIC NON-TARGET SCREENING
Aalizadeh R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
Recent advances on Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS) has revolutionized identification of new compounds, having various polarity, over various scientific fields especially in the environmental science. The continuous growing of LC-HRMS applications yet increased the...Read more

Immobilized rGO/TiO2 photocatalyst for water purification
Zouzelka R., Brabec L., Remzova M., (Corresponding) Rathousky J.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
The preparation of immobilized graphene–based photocatalyst layers is highly desired for environmental applications. In this study, the preparation of an immobilized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/TiO2 composite by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was optimized. It enabled quantitative deposition...Read more

Influence of pH on the toxicity, uptake and biotransformation potential of citalopram in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos
Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., (Corresponding) Heid C., KÖHLER H., OHË P., TRIEBSKORN R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities. Given the large number of xenobiotics, for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Citalopram (CTR) is a...Read more
MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF TWO-PHASE OLIVE-OIL WASHING WASTEWATER PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS RECOVERY AND TREATMENT BY NOVEL WEAK-BASE ION EXCHANGE RESINS
(Corresponding) Ochando J., Anotnio M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the present work, the concentration and recovery of high-added value phenolic compounds from two-phase olive mill wastewater (OMW) and the simultaneous effluent treatment by a ‘green process’ based on resins adsorption/ion exchange was studied. Olive oil is produced by a technological procedure...Read more

A Small Overview of the current, Natural & Affected Environments by Microplastics
(Corresponding) Mafina K., Robertson I.
Topic:
Microplastics in the marine environment
There is a growing concern and increasing evidence that microplastics in the World’s rivers and oceans are having an affect on marine environments; and ultimately into the food chain. Infrared Spectroscopy and Microscopy are well- established analytical techniques for defining, identifying and...Read more

Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate change is increasingly been called a ‘security’ problem, and there has been speculation that climate change may increase the risk of violent conflict. In this paper, the impact of climate change on the indicators such as war and insecurity, water and food resources, poverty development,...Read more
