• closedAccess   Analytical investigation of cannabis biomarkers in raw urban wastewater to refine consumption estimates 

      Campos-Mañas, Marina Celia; Van Wichelen, Natan; Covaci, Adrian; van Nuijs, Alexander; Ort, Christoph; Been, Frederic; Castiglioni, Sara; Hernandez, Felix; Bijlsma, Lubertus Elsevier (2022-08)
      Wastewater analysis of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) biomarkers can provide essential information on trends in cannabis consumption. Although analysis is mostly focused on the aqueous phase, previous studies have illustrated ...
    • closedAccess   Enantiomeric profiling of chiral illicit drugs in a pan-European study 

      Castrignanò, Erika; Yang, Zhugen; Bade, Richard; Baz Lomba, Jose Antonio; Castiglioni, Sara; Causanilles, Ana; Covaci, Adrian; GRACIA LOR, EMMA; Hernandez, Felix; Kinyua, Juliet; McCall, Ann Kathrin; van Nuijs, Alexander; Ort, Christoph; Plosz, Benedek; Ramin, Pedram; Rousis, Nikolaos I; Ryu, Yeonsuk; Thomas, Kevin V.; de Voogt, Pim; Zuccato, Ettore; Kasprzyk-Hordern, Barbara Elsevier (2018)
      The aim of this paper is to present the first study on spatial and temporal variation in the enantiomeric profile of chiral drugs in eight European cities. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) and enantioselective analysis ...
    • closedAccess   Evaluation of Uncertainties Associated with the Determination of Community Drug Use through the Measurement of Sewage Drug Biomarkers 

      Castiglioni, Sara; Bijlsma, Lubertus; Covaci, Adrian; Emke, Erik; Hernandez, Felix; Reid, Malcolm; Ort, Christoph; Thomas, Kevin V.; van Nuijs, Alexander; de Voogt, Pim; Zuccato, Ettore American Chemical Society (2013)
      The aim of this study was to integrally address the uncertainty associated with all the steps used to estimate community drug consumption through the chemical analysis of sewage biomarkers of illicit drugs. Uncertainty has ...
