Identification and characterization of a putative new psychoactive substance, 2-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetamido)- 3-methylbutanamide, in Spain
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 ... -
Monitoring pharmaceuticals and personal care products in reservoir water used for drinking water supply
Springer (2017-03)In this work, the presence of selected emerging contaminants has been investigated in two reservoirs, La Fe (LF) and Rio Grande (RG), which supply water to two drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) of Medellin, one of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Monitoring a large number of pesticides and transformation products in water samples from Spain and Italy
Elsevier (2017-07)Assessing the presence of pesticides in environmental waters is particularly challenging because of the huge number of substances used which may end up in the environment. Furthermore, the occurrence of pesticide transformation ... -
