Application of catalytic ozonation using Y zeolite in the elimination of pharmaceuticals in effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants
Prada Vásquez, Maria Angélica; Simarro Gimeno, Claudia; Vidal Barreiro, Isabel; Cardona-Gallo, Santiago-Alonso; Pitarch, Elena; Hernandez, Felix; Torres-Palma, Ricardo A.; chica, antonio; Navarro-Laboulais, Javier Elsevier (2024)Catalytic ozonation using faujasite-type Y zeolite with two different SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratios (60 and 12) was evaluated for the first time in the removal of 25 pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) present in real effluents from ... -
Determination of eight nitrosamines in water at the ng L−1 levels by liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry
Ripollés Vidal, Cristina; Pitarch, Elena; Sancho, Juan V; Lopez, Francisco; Hernandez, Felix Elsevier (2011-09-19)In this work, we have developed a sensitive method for detection and quantification of eight N-nitrosamines, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosomorpholine (NMor), N-nitrosomethylethylamine (NMEA), N-nitrosopirrolidine ... -
Determination of PBDEs in human breast adipose tissues by gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry
Pitarch, Elena; Medina, Cecilia; Lopez, Francisco; Hernandez, Felix Springer Verlag (2008)The potential of gas chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry with triple quadrupole analyzer for determination of 12 polybrominated diphenyl ethers in human breast tissues has been investigated. After extraction with ... -
Evaluation of direct sample injection as a fast, no-sample handling, approach for the LC-MS/MS monitoring of pharmaceuticals in different water matrices
Simarro Gimeno, Claudia; Garlito Molina, Borja; Pitarch, Elena; Hernandez, Felix Elsevier (2023)The determination of drug residues in water, particularly in environmental water, is a hot topic due to the usual presence of these emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment and their potential negative impact ... -
GC-MS/MS multi-residue method for the determination of organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in human breast tissues
Medina, Cecilia; Pitarch, Elena; Portoles, Tania; Lopez, Francisco; Hernandez, Felix Wiley (2009)In this work, a multiresidue method for the quantification and confirmation of around 30 organohalogenated compounds in human breast tissue samples has been developed. Analytes tested included organochlorine (OC) (pesticides ... -
Investigation of pharmaceuticals in a conventional wastewater treatment plant: Removal efficiency, seasonal variation and impact of a nearby hospital
Bijlsma, Lubertus; Pitarch, Elena; Fonseca, Eddie; Ibánez, María; Botero-Coy, Ana Maria; Claros, Javier; Ruiz-Pastor, Laura; Hernandez, Felix Elsevier (2021-04-23)Discharges from the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are among the main sources of contamination to receiving surface water, therefore the quality of treated wastewater needs to be properly monitored. However, not only ... -
Occurrence of pharmaceutical metabolites and transformation products in the aquatic environment of the Mediterranean area
Ibáñez, Maria; Bijlsma, Lubertus; Pitarch, Elena; Lopez, Francisco; Hernandez, Felix Elsevier (2021-02-09)The presence of pharmaceutically active substances (PhACs) in aquatic ecosystems is of great concern dueto their constant occurrence in different water systems and potential negative effects on the quality ofwater and ... -
Searching for anthropogenic contaminants in human breast adipose tissues using gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Hernandez, Felix; Portoles, Tania; Pitarch, Elena; Lopez, Francisco John Wiley & Sons (2008-12)The potential of GC-TOF MS for screening anthropogenic organic contaminants in human breast adipose tissues has been investigated. Initially a target screening was performed for a list of 125 compounds which included ... -
