Comparison of phosphodiesterase type V inhibitors use in eight European cities through analysis of urban wastewater
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
In this work a step forward in investigating the use of prescription drugs, namely erectile dysfunction products, at European level was taken by applying the wastewater-based epidemiology approach. 24-h composite samples ...
Identification of new, very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish by gas chromatography coupled to quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization
(Springer, 2021-2)
The characterization of very long-chain (>C24) polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs), which are essential in the vision, neural function, and reproduction of vertebrates, is challenging because of the lack of reference ...
Comprehensive investigation on synthetic cannabinoids: metabolic behaviour, detectability and potency testing, using 5F-APP-PICA and AMBFUBINACA as model compounds.
(Wiley, 2019-09)
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) represented 45% of new psychoactive substances seizures in Europe (data from 2016). The consumption of SCs is an issue of concern due to their still unknown toxicity and effects on human health, ...
Monitoring new psychoactive substances use through wastewater analysis: current situation, challenges and limitations
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
New psychoactive substances (NPSs) are compounds that produce similar effects to those induced by illicit drugs (IDs), such as cocaine, cannabis, and amphetamines, but are not strictly regulated by international conventions. ...
Comparison of pharmaceutical, illicit drug, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine levels in wastewater with sale, seizure and consumption data for 8 European cities
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background: Monitoring the scale of pharmaceuticals, illicit and licit drugs consumption is important to assess the needs of law enforcement and public health, and provides more information about the different trends within ...
Inhibition of larval growth and adult fecundity in Asian long-horned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) exposed to azadirachtins under quarantine laboratory conditions
(Wiley, 2018)
BACKGROUND: The Asian long-horned beetle [ALB; Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)] is an invasive, wood-boringinsect posing significant economic and ecological threats to the deciduous forests of North America. An ...
What about the herb? A new metabolomics approach for synthetic cannabinoid drug testing
(Springer Verlag, 2018-08)
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are consumed as legal alternative to cannabis and often allow passing drug-screening tests. Their rapid transience on the drug scene, combined with their mostly unknown metabolic profiles, ...
Pharmaceutical removal from different water matrixes by Fenton process at near-neutral pH: Doehlert design and transformation products identification by UHPLC-QTOF MS using a purpose-built database
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
This work evaluates the Fenton process in the removal of eight pharmaceuticals (gemfibrozil, nimesulide, furosemide, paracetamol, propranolol, dipyrone, fluoxetine, and diazepam), present at an initial concentration of ...
Comprehensive investigation of pesticides in Brazilian surface water by high resolution mass spectrometry screening and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry quantitative analysis
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this work, a comprehensive investigation on the occurrence of pesticides in the Paraná 3 hydrographic basin of Paraná State, Brazil, was made by application of wide-scope screening based on ultra-high performance liquid ...
