Facilitating high resolution mass spectrometry data processing for screening of environmental water samples: An evaluation of two deconvolution tools
(Elsevier, 2016)
A screening approach was applied to influent and effluent wastewater samples. After injection in a LC-LTQ-Orbitrap, data analysis was performed using two deconvolution tools, MsXelerator (modules MPeaks and MS Compare) and ...
Investigating the appearance of new psychoactive substances in South Australia using wastewater and forensic data.
(Wiley, 2018-08-20)
New psychoactive substances (NPS) have increased in use and popularity worldwide. Wastewater analysis has been successfully applied to evaluate illicit drugs use within a population. However, for NPS, such an approach may ...
Identification of new omeprazole metabolites in wastewaters and surface waters
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
Omeprazole is one of the world-wide most consumed pharmaceuticals for treatment of gastric diseases. As opposed to other frequently used pharmaceuticals, omeprazole is scarcely detected in urban wastewaters and environmental ...

Aims To perform wastewater analyses to assess spatial differences and temporal changes of illicit drug use in a large
European population. Design Analyses of raw wastewater over a 1-week period in 2012 and 2013. Setting ...
Towards the review of the European Union Water Framework Directive: Recommendations for more efficient assessment and management of chemical contamination in European surface water resources
(Elsevier, 2017)
Water is a vital resource for natural ecosystems and human life, and assuring a high quality of water and protecting it from chemical contamination is a major societal goal in the European Union. The Water Framework Directive ...
Enantiomeric profiling of quinolones and quinolones resistance gene qnrS in European wastewaters
(Elsevier, 2020)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) was applied for the first time in seven cities across Europe with the aim of estimating quinolones consumption via the analysis of human urinary metabolites in wastewater. This report ...
Removal efficiency for emerging contaminants in a WWTP from Madrid (Spain) after secondary and tertiary treatment and environmental impact on the Manzanares River
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-12-22)
The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be an important contamination source for receiving waters. In this work, a comprehensive study on the impact of a WWTP from Madrid on the aquatic environment has ...
Effective elimination of fifteen relevant pharmaceuticals in hospital wastewater from Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process
(Elsevier, 2019)
This work presents the treatment of selected emerging concern pharmaceuticals in real hospital wastewater (HWW) from Tumaco-Colombia by combination of a biological system with a sonochemical process. Fifteen compounds, ...
The role of analytical chemistry in exposure science: Focus on the aquatic environment
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
Exposure science, in its broadest sense, studies the interactions between stressors (chemical, biological, and physical agents) and receptors (e.g. humans and other living organisms, and non-living items like buildings), ...
Estimation of illicit drug use in the main cities of Colombia by means of urban wastewater analysis
(Elsevier, 2016-09)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) relies on the principle that traces of compounds, which a population is exposed to or consume, are excreted unchanged or as metabolites in urine and/or feces, and ultimately end up in ...
