Identification of substances migrating from plastic baby bottles using a combination of low-resolution and high-resolution mass spectrometric analysers coupled to gas and liquid chromatography
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2015)
This work presents a strategy for elucidation of unknown migrants from plastic food contact materials (baby bottles) using a combination of analytical techniques in an untargeted approach. First, gas chromatography (GC) ...
Critical evaluation of a simple retention time predictor based on LogKow as a complementary tool in the identification of emerging contaminants in water
(Elsevier, 2015)
There has been great interest in environmental analytical chemistry in developing screening methods based on liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) for emerging contaminants. Using HRMS, compound ...
Critical review on the stability of illicit drugs in sewers and wastewater samples
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) applies advanced analytical methods to quantify drug residues in wastewater with the aim to estimate illicit drug use at the population level. Transformation processes during transport ...
Potential of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source in gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the screening of urinary exogenous androgenic anabolic steroids
(Elsevier, 2016-02-04)
The atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) source for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis has been evaluated for the screening of 16 exogenous androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) in urine. The sample ...
Quantification of prominent volatile compounds responsible for muskmelon and watermelon aroma by purge and trap extraction followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry determination
(Wiley, 2016-01)
A dynamic headspace purge-and-trap (DHS-P&T) methodology for the determination and quantification of 61 volatile compounds responsible for muskmelon and watermelon aroma has been developed and validated. The methodology ...
A data-independent acquisition workflow for qualitative screening of new psychoactive substances in biological samples
(Springer, 2015)
Identification of new psychoactive substances (NPS) is challenging. Developing targeted methods for their analysis can be difficult and costly due to their impermanence on the drug scene. Accurate-mass mass spectrometry ...
In vitro bioanalytical assessment of toxicity of wetland samples from Spanish Mediterranean coastline
(Springer, 2021-06-14)
Background
Fresh water bodies represent less than 1% of overall amount of water on earth and ensuring their quality and sustainability is pivotal. Although several campaigns have been performed to monitor the occurrence ...
Comprehensive monitoring of organic micro-pollutants in surface and groundwater in the surrounding of a solid-waste treatment plant of Castellón, Spain
(Elsevier, 2016)
The solid-waste treatment plant of RECIPLASA is located in the municipality of Onda
(Castellón province), which is an important agricultural area of Spain, with
predominance of citrus crops. In this plant, all urban solid ...
Are preserved coastal water bodies in Spanish Mediterranean basin impacted by human activity? Water quality evaluation using chemical and biological analyses
(Elsevier, 2022-06-01)
The Spanish Mediterranean basin is particularly susceptible to climate change and human activities, making it vulnerable to the influence of anthropogenic contaminants. Therefore, conducting comprehensive and exhaustive ...
Sewage-based Epidemiology Requires a Truly Transdisciplinary Approach
(oekom verlag, 2014)
If asked whether you had consumed illicit drugs recently, would you admit it? If yes, could you precisely recall types of drug, times and amounts used? If you were the person commissioned with the task of quantifying drug ...
