Identification of Aquifer Recharge Sources as the Origin of Emerging Contaminants in Intensive Agricultural Areas. La Plana de Castellón, Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
In urban, industrial, and agricultural areas, a vast array of contaminants may be found because they are introduced into the aquifers by different recharge sources. The emerging contaminants (ECs) correspond to unregulated ...
Do background levels of the pesticide pirimiphosmethyl in plant-based aquafeeds affect food safety of farmed Atlantic salmon?
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-10-20)
The substitution of fish oil and fishmeal with plant-based ingredients in commercial aquafeeds for Atlantic salmon, may introduce novel contaminants that have not previously been associated with farmed fish. The organophosphate ...

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. ...
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, ...
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 ...

Vitamin D testing in analytical clinical laboratories has been experiencing a rapid increase of demand over the last years, as it plays a key role in several disorders. Due to the narrow ranges of medical ...
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 ...
Integrated assessment of future potential global change scenarios and their hydrological impacts in coastal aquifers – a new tool to analyse management alternatives in the Plana Oropesa-Torreblanca aquifer
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2018-05-30)
Any change in the components of the water balance in a coastal aquifer, whether natural or anthropogenic, can alter the freshwater–salt water equilibrium. In this sense climate change (CC) and land use and land cover (LULC) ...
