      There is considerable concern around the use of new psychoactive substances (NPS), but still little is known about how much they are really consumed. Analysis by forensics laboratories of seized drugs and post-mortem samples ...
    • openAccess   Monitoring a large number of pesticides and transformation products in water samples from Spain and Italy 

      Rousis, Nikolaos I; Bade, Richard; Bijlsma, Lubertus; Zuccato, Ettore; Sancho, Juan V; Hernandez, Felix; Castiglioni, Sara Elsevier (2017-07)
      Assessing the presence of pesticides in environmental waters is particularly challenging because of the huge number of substances used which may end up in the environment. Furthermore, the occurrence of pesticide transformation ...
    • openAccess   Monitoring psychoactive substance use at six European festivals through wastewater and pooled urine analysis
