Monitoring psychoactive substance use at six European festivals through wastewater and pooled urine analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-07-10)
The consumption of psychoactive substances is considered a growing problem in many communities. Moreover, new psychoactive substances (NPS) designed as (legal) substitutes to traditional illicit drugs are relatively easily ...
Assessing geographical differences in illicit drug consumption – A comparison of results from epidemiological and wastewater data in Germany and Switzerland
(Elsevier, 2016-04-01)
Background: Wastewater analysis is an innovative approach that allows monitoring illicit drug use at the community level. This study focused on investigating geographical differences in drug consumption by comparing ...
Performance of the linear ion trap Orbitrap mass analyzer for qualitative and quantitative analysis of drugs of abuse and relevant metabolites in sewage water
(Elsevier, 2013-03-20)
This work illustrates the potential of liquid chromatography coupled to a hybrid linear ion trap Fourier Transform Orbitrap mass spectrometer for the simultaneous identification and quantification of 24 drugs of abuse and ...
Effects of different amendments (organic matter and hydrogel) on the actual evapotranspiration and crop coefficient of turf grass under field conditions
(John Wiley and SonsInternational Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID)Wiley, 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
(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 ...
Screening of Pharmaceuticals and Illicit Drugs in Wastewater and Surface Waters of Spain and Italy by High Resolution Mass Spectrometry using UHPLC-QTOF MS and LC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS
(Springer, 2015)
The existence of pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs (PIDs) in environmental waters has led many analytical chemists to develop screening methods for monitoring purposes. Water samples can contain a huge number of possible ...
Novel analytical approach for brominated flame retardants based on the use of gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry with emphasis in highly brominated congeners
(American Chemical Society, 2015)
The analysis of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) commonly relies on the use of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) operating in electron ionization (El) and electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) ...
Analytical strategy to investigate 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) metabolites in consumers’ urine by high-resolution mass spectrometry
(Springer, 2016-01)
The potential of high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for the investigation of human in vivo metabolism of 3,4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) using urine collected from a consumer (this is, in non-controlled ...
Assessing alcohol consumption through wastewater-based epidemiology: Spain as case study
(Elsevier, 2020-08-19)
Background
In this study, an alternative and complementary method to those approaches currently used to estimate alcohol consumption by the population is described. This method, known as wastewater-based epidemiology ...
Identification of electroactive sites in Prussian Yellow films
(Elsevier, 2013)
Prussian Blue films were electrogenerated on the surface of the transparent ITO electrodes. The electrochemical oxidation to the Prussian Yellow form was investigated by means of in situ voltammetry and vis–NIR spectroscopic ...
