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 ...
Investigation of pharmaceutical metabolites in environmental waters by LC-MS/MS
(Springer, 2014)
Pharmaceuticals, once ingested, are commonly metabolized in the body into more polar and soluble forms. These compounds might not be completely removed in the wastewater treatment plants and consequently being discharged ...
Determination of patulin in apple and derived products by UHPLC-MS/MS. Study of matrix effects with atmospheric pressure ionisation sources.
(Elsevier, 2014)
Sensitive and reliable analytical methodology has been developed for the measurement of patulin in regulated foodstuffs by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) ...
The key role of mass spectrometry in comprehensive research on new psychoactive substances
(John Wiley and SonsWiley, 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 ...
Identification of mycotoxins by UHPLC–QTOF MS in airborne fungi and fungi isolated from industrial paper and antique documents from the Archive of Bogotá
(Elsevier, 2016-01)
Mold deterioration of historical documents in archives and libraries is a frequent and complex phenomenon that may have important economic and cultural consequences. In addition, exposure to toxic fungal metabolites might ...

(Springer Verlag, 2015-05)
In this article, a dataset from a collaborative nontarget
screening trial organised by the NORMAN Association
is used to review the state-of-the-art and discuss future perspectives
of non-target screening using ...
Suspect Screening of Large Numbers of Emerging Contaminants in Environmental Waters using Artificial Neural Networks for Chromatographic Retention Time Prediction and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis
(2015-12-02)
The recent development of broad-scope high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) screening methods has resulted in a much improved capability for new compound identification in environmental samples. However, positive ...
Advancing towards universal screening for organic pollutants in waters
(Elsevier, 2015)
Environmental analytical chemists face the challenge of investigating thousands of potential organic pollutants that may be present in the aquatic environment. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) hyphenated to ...
Analytical strategy based on the combination of gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight and hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass analyzers for non-target analysis in food packaging
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
The potential of an advanced analytical strategy based on the use of gas chromatography (GC) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with two different analyzers and ionization sources has been investigated and ...
Mass Spectrometric Evaluation of Mephedrone In Vivo Human Metabolism: Identification of Phase I and Phase II Metabolites, Including a Novel Succinyl Conjugate
(American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), 2015-02)
In recent years, many new designer drugs have emerged, including the group of cathinone derivatives. One frequently occurring drug is mephedrone; although mephedrone was originally considered as a “legal high” product, it ...
