The occurrence of 28 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) was investigated in 17 surface water samples (rivers, canals, lagoons), 12 groundwater (wells boreholes, which can also be consumed for drinking) 8 drinking (bottles sachets) during dry rainy seasons Lagos state, Nigeria. most prevalent compound detected all amoxicillin (an antibiotic) at median concentrations 1614, 238 358 ng/L water, ground respectively. This is concern due to potential impact on development...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were measured in air and dust from cars, homes, offices, school classrooms Ireland, along with drinking water homes offices. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) dominated water, while perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) dust. This is the first report of PFOA, perfluorooctane (PFOS), perfluorohexane (PFHxS), PFBS, perfluorononanoic (PFNA) inside cars classrooms. PFOS concentrations classroom exceeded significantly (p ≤ 0.05) those homes. Atmospheric PFNA, methyl...
Concentrations of decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), 13 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) were measured in indoor air dust collected from Irish homes, cars, offices, primary schools during 2016-2017. Median concentrations DBDPE (88 pg/m3) (6500 ng/g) significantly exceed those previously reported internationally, with highest offices schools, suggesting that is widely used Ireland. BDE-209 (340 (7100 or are within the range recently for same...
A selective pressurized liquid extraction (S-PLE) method was developed for rapid determination of 3 classes halogenated organic contaminants in indoor dust, soil and sediment samples. The optimised used : 2 v/v n-hexane-dichloromethane polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs). Extraction performed at 90 °C 5 min followed by 4 static time under 1500 psi. Good recoveries target analytes were obtained after cycles. In-cell cleanup...
Due to new European legislation, products going waste are subject 'low persistent organic pollutant concentration limits'. Concentrations of restricted brominated flame retardants in must be determined. A rapid extraction and clean-up method was developed for determination various plastics textiles. The optimised used vortexing ultrasonication dichloromethane followed by sulfuric acid determine target compounds. Poly-brominated diphenyl ethers were determined gas chromatography with mass...
Due to new European legislation, products entering the waste stream containing some perfluoro alkyl substances (PFAS) are subject “low persistent organic pollutant concentration limits”. Concentrations of restricted PFAS must be below this limit for them legally recycled or disposed of. A rapid extraction and clean-up method was developed determination 21 in various polymers used soft furnishings upholstery. The optimised vortexing ultrasonication methanol (0.1% NH4OH), followed by a...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in consumer industrial products but have subsequently raised concerns about their toxicity. To evaluate factors influencing PFAS concentrations drinking water to estimate human exposure, ten were measured tap from the UK China, also bottled originating 15 different countries. In this study, perfluorooctanoic acid perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) most frequently detected (>99%) dominated global water, with other highly (67%–93%)....
