Investigation of the influence of environmentally relevant pH values in the toxicity of the b-blocker Metoprolol in zebrafish (Danio Rerio) embryos through toxicokinetic approaches (uptake, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation)
Tzepkinli V., Panagopoulou E., Damalas D., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Hebel J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Recently, the release of emerging contaminants into the aquatic ecosystems has become an issue of concern among scientists since some of them are frequently detected in the environment at levels that may cause harm. One of the main categories of emerging contaminants is the human and veterinary...Read more
Increased use of antiseptics due to COVID19: a case study in Greece - anticipated effects on the marine environment
KAFES A., (Corresponding) NIKOLAOU A., Vagi M., Kostopoulou M.
Topic:
Covid-19 effects on environmental aspects and urban life
COVID19 pandemic started in China in 2019, when a coronavirus appeared that spread globally, causing severe health problems and increasing mortality. At that time, as there were no effective pharmaceuticals for treatment and no vaccines for protection, the only available means were preventive...Read more
Toxicity, uptake, and biotransformation assessment of zebrafish embryos exposed to tetracaine, under different pH values, utilizing embryotoxicity and LC-HRMS
Damalas D., Panagopoulou E., Aleiferi E., Tzepkinli V., Aalizadeh R., Schweizer M., Kuttler J., Kohler H., Von der Ohe P., Triebskorn R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The contamination of the aquatic environment has raised concerns in the scientific community and regulatory authorities, over the last decades. Given the large number of xenobiotics (such as pharmaceuticals), for most of them there is a striking deficit in the literature concerning their adverse...Read more
Mitigating the impact of antineoplastic drugs on aquatic environment: nanofiltration as a promising tertiary wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gouveia T., Cristóvão B., Pereira V., Crespo J., Alves A., Ribeiro A., Silva A., Santos M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Pharmaceuticals known as antineoplastic agents are increasingly prescribed in the fight against cancer. This is causing some concern in the scientific community due their poor treatment in many conventional wastewater treatment plants and poor environmental biodegradability, posing a potential risk...Read more
Fate Of Nitrofurans: Photochemistry, Transformation Products And Toxicity Evaluation In Surface Water Systems
Efthymiou C., Boti V., Konstantinou I., (Corresponding) Albanis T.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Nitrofurans (NFs) consist a group of broad-spectrum antibiotic compounds provided as a basic dietary supplement in livestock husbandry as swine farms, beekeeping and aquaculture. Among nitrofurans furaltadone (FTD) is an antibiotic with a protective effect against bacterial and protozoan infections...Read more
Synthesis of iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar for the activation of peroxymonosulfate to degrade sulfamethoxazole
Xue Y., Kamali M., (Corresponding) Dewil R.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
In this study, iron and nitrogen co-doped biochar (Fe-N-BC) was synthesized by a facile pyrolysis process of mixed walnut shell, melamine, and iron(III) chloride, and then the biochar (BC), nitrogen-doped biochar (N-BC), and iron-doped biochar (Fe-BC) also were prepared as a control. The Fe-N-BC...Read more

Ecotoxicological impacts of pharmaceuticals on marine biota: A Systematic Review
(Corresponding) VAGI M., NTATSI N., PETSAS A.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Abstract Pharmaceuticals are a wide class of chemicals used for human and veterinary purposes. As many other anthropogenic organic substances, they can be introduced into various aquatic ecosystems including marine and coastal waters via accidental incidents or spatial sources. Consequently, a...Read more
