Elsevier (2020-08-25)N-ethylhexedrone (NEH) and buphedrone (BUPH) are synthetic drugs structurally related to natural cathinone. These synthetic cathinones (SC) are members of the heterogenous family of new psychoactive substances (NPS), which ... -
No transfer of the non-regulated mycotoxins, beauvericin and enniatins, from feeds to farmed fish reared on plant-based diets
Elsevier (2020-09-01)Concern about the risk of exposure to emerging plant-derived mycotoxins such as beauvericin and enniatins has been addressed by the European Commission who requested the European Food Safety Authority for a scientific ... -
Do background levels of the pesticide pirimiphosmethyl in plant-based aquafeeds affect food safety of farmed Atlantic salmon?
Taylor & Francis Group (2020-10-20)The substitution of fish oil and fishmeal with plant-based ingredients in commercial aquafeeds for Atlantic salmon, may introduce novel contaminants that have not previously been associated with farmed fish. The organophosphate ... -
The key role of mass spectrometry in comprehensive research on new psychoactive substances
John Wiley and Sons (2020-10-29)New psychoactive substances (NPS) are a wide group of compounds that try to mimic the effects produced by the ‘classical’ illicit drugs, including cannabis (synthetic cannabinoids), cocaine and amphetamines (synthetic ... -
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry based untargeted volatolomics for smoked seafood classification
Elsevier (2020-11)With the increase of the demand of low flavouring smoked seafood products, there is a need of methodologies able to distinguish between different seafood treatments, as not all of them are allowed in all markers. Following ... -
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 ... -
First nation-wide estimation of tobacco consumption in Spain using wastewater-based epidemiology
Elsevier (2020-11-01)Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become a very useful tool to monitor a population’s drug consumption or exposure to environmental and food contaminants. In this work, WBE has been applied to estimate tobacco ... -
Effects of different amendments (organic matter and hydrogel) on the actual evapotranspiration and crop coefficient of turf grass under field conditions
John Wiley and Sons (2020-11-16)The irrigation schedule in arid areas has to be efficient in order to reduce losses due to evaporation and deep infiltration. Irrigation optimization poses the need to establish with precision the value of actual ... -
Improving Target and Suspect Screening High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Workflows in Environmental Analysis by Ion Mobility Separation
