Towards the review of the European Union Water Framework Directive: Recommendations for more efficient assessment and management of chemical contamination in European surface water resources
(Elsevier, 2017)
Water is a vital resource for natural ecosystems and human life, and assuring a high quality of water and protecting it from chemical contamination is a major societal goal in the European Union. The Water Framework Directive ...
UHPLC-QTOF MS screening of pharmaceuticals and their metabolitesin treated wastewater samples from Athens
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
After consumption, pharmaceuticals are excreted as parent compounds and/or metabolites in urine and faeces. Some are not completely removed during wastewater treatments, forcing sewage treatment plants (STPs) to apply ...
Prediction of Collision Cross-Section Values for Small Molecules: Application to Pesticide Residue Analysis
(2017)
The use of collision cross-section (CCS) values obtained by ion mobility high-resolution mass spectrometry has added a third dimension (alongside retention time and exact mass) to aid in the identification of compounds. ...
Comprehensive strategy for pesticide residue analysis through the production cycle of gilthead sea bream and Atlantic salmon
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Plant ingredients and processed animal proteins are alternative feedstuffs for fish feeds in aquaculture. However, their use can introduce contaminants like pesticides that are not previously associated with marine Atlantic ...
Untargeted metabolomics approach for unraveling robust biomarkers of nutritional status in fasted gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(PeerJ, 2017)
A metabolomic study has been performed to identify sensitive and robust biomarkers
of malnutrition in farmed fish, using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) as a model.
The metabolomic fingerprinting of serum from fasted ...
Evaluation of uncertainty sources in the determination of testosterone in urine by calibration-based and isotope dilution quantification using ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
Three quantification methodologies, namely calibration with internal standard (Cal-IS, non-weighted), weighted calibration with internal standard (wCal-IS) and isotope pattern deconvolution (IPD) have been used for the ...
Analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in stack gas emissions by gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, 2017-09)
A gas chromatography coupled to triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-(QqQ)MS/MS) including a soft-ionization through an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source based method was compared with the high ...
Mass spectrometric identification and structural analysis of the third-generation synthetic cannabinoids on the UK market since the 2013 legislative ban
(Springer, 2017-07)
To examine the impact of the second legal ban on synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) in the UK in February 2013, we surveyed the UK legal high market just before and after the change in legislation, looking for new SCs. The ...
Determination of selected endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids and ratios in urine by ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and isotope pattern deconvolution
(Elsevier, 2017-09)
An isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) method for the determination of selected endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) in urine by UHPLC–MS/MS has been developed using the isotope pattern deconvolution (IPD) ...

(Wiley, 2017-02-28)
The term ‘new psychoactive substances’ (NPS) refers to
synthetically changed natural compounds or newly designed
compounds intended to elicit a psychotropic response such as
stimulation, hallucination or sedation.
According ...
