Screening thousands of emerging contaminants in Asopos river basin by UPLC-QToF-MS
Nikolopoulou V., Nika M., Aalizadeh R., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
General
Monitoring activities over several decades have revealed the ubiquitous presence of organic contaminants in environmental compartments. Asopos river basin, located in Sterea Ellada, has been the focus of many environmental studies over the last decades, mainly due to its geomorphology and the...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

Development of a non-target screening workflow for the evaluation of micropollutants fate during oxidation processes
(Corresponding) Huynh N., Le Roux J., Guyot J., Moilleron R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Non-target screening (NTS) is of great interest for environmental monitoring because it enables the screening of numerous pollutants, including unknown products. However, methods to identify unknowns are still time-consuming and only deal with a limited portion of the signal. The objective of this...Read more
Suspected-target screening for the assessment of pollutants in sewage sludge and assessment of their environmental risk
(Corresponding) Álvarez-Ruiz R., Cuñat A., Picó Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Wastewater generated by human activities contains different organic pollutants from anthropogenic origin. During its depuration in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) sewage sludge is generated, which also contains these pollutants. While water influents and effluents of WWTPs are widely...Read more
Non-targeted screening workflows for gas chromatography – high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis to find and identify biomagnifying contaminants in biota samples
(Corresponding) Rebryk A., Haglund P.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The health of key species in the Baltic region has been affected by exposure to anthropogenic hazardous substances (AHSs), which accumulate in organisms and are transferred through food chains. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive characterization of the occurrence and accumulation of AHSs...Read more
High resolution mass spectrometric non-target screening and wide-scope target analysis of emerging contaminants and target analysis of legacy contaminants in adult black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa in The Netherlands – preliminary findings
(Corresponding) Movalli P., Piersma T., Hooijmeijer J., Dekinga A., Howison R., Biesmeijer K., Dekker R., Alygizakis N., Gkotsis G., Kostakis M., Nika M., Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Contaminant monitoring can elucidate exposure of bird populations (and other species in the same biotic communities) to chemical risks. Long-term monitoring of contaminants in birds can moreover be used to assess the effectiveness of chemical risk management measures, identify emerging contaminants...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

Topic:
Biomonitoring
Diffuse gliomas are a highly heterogeneous and aggressive brain tumours with poor prognosis and survival and few established risk factors. Environmental exposures are suspected in the pathogenesis of these tumours; however, results of existing studies are limited and inconsistent, particularly for...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
