Photo-electro-Fenton process applied to the degradation of valsartan: Effect of parameters, identification of degradation routes and mineralization in combination with a biological system
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
In this work, the oxidation of the antihypertensive drug valsartan by the Electro-Fenton (EF) and photo-electro-Fenton (PEF) processes was studied using a Ti/IrO2 doped with SnO2 as anode, and a carbon felt air diffusion ...
Identification of Aquifer Recharge Sources as the Origin of Emerging Contaminants in Intensive Agricultural Areas. La Plana de Castellón, Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
In urban, industrial, and agricultural areas, a vast array of contaminants may be found because they are introduced into the aquifers by different recharge sources. The emerging contaminants (ECs) correspond to unregulated ...
N-Acetylcysteine boosts xenobiotic detoxification in shellfish
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Water pollution represents a threat of increasing importance to human health. Bivalve mollusks are filter-feeding organisms that can accumulate chemical and microbiological contaminants in their tissues from very low ...
Determination of 17b-estradiol and 17a-ethinylestradiol in water at sub-ppt levels by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-06)
Steroid estrogens are a group of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) excreted in human urine mainly as glucuronide or sulfate conjugates, which might be converted back into the free estrogens in water. The natural estrogen ...
Occurrence and ecological risks of pharmaceuticals in a Mediterranean river in Eastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Pharmaceuticals are biologically active molecules that may exert toxic effects to a wide range of aquatic organisms. They are considered contaminants of emerging concern due to their common presence in wastewaters and in ...
Improving Target and Suspect Screening High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Workflows in Environmental Analysis by Ion Mobility Separation
(American Chemical Society, 2020-11-19)
Currently, the most powerful approach to monitor
organic micropollutants (OMPs) in environmental samples is the
combination of target, suspect, and nontarget screening strategies
using high-resolution mass spectrometry ...
Understanding the pharmacokinetics of synthetic cathinones: Evaluation of the blood–brain barrier permeability of 13 related compounds in rats
(Wiley, 2020)
Synthetic cathinones are the second most commonly seized new psychoactive substance family in Europe. These compounds have been related to several intoxication cases, including fatalities. Although the pharmacological ...
Treatment of two sartan antihypertensives in water by photo-electro-Fenton using BDD anodes: Degradation kinetics, theoretical analyses, primary transformations and matrix effects
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Degradation of two representative antihypertensives, losartan (LOS) and valsartan (VAL) in water by photo-electro-Fenton (PEF), using a BDD anode in presence of sulfate anion was evaluated. PEF showed a fast elimination ...
Identification of new omeprazole metabolites in wastewaters and surface waters
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
Omeprazole is one of the world-wide most consumed pharmaceuticals for treatment of gastric diseases. As opposed to other frequently used pharmaceuticals, omeprazole is scarcely detected in urban wastewaters and environmental ...
Pesticide Inhalation Exposure of Applicators and Bystanders Using Conventional and Innovative Cropping Systems in the Valencian Region, Spain
(MDPI, 2021-05-15)
This paper provides scientific results from a European LIFE project carried out in the Valencian region of Spain during the 2017 to 2018 time frame. In 2018, more than 60,000 tons of pesticides were commercialized in Spain, ...
