This study reports the occurrence of eight bisphenols (BPs): bisphenol AF (BPAF), AP (BPAP), B (BPB), C (BPC), E (BPE), F (BPF), S (BPS) and Z (BPZ) in wastewaters (WWs). Sample preparation involved pre-concentration with SPE cartridges (Oasis HLB), followed by derivatization using N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide 1% tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane. Chemical analysis was based on gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A validated method limits detection (LODs) at ng L− 1...
This study reports the analysis of nine bisphenols (BPA, BPAF, BPAP, BPB, BPC, BPE, BPF, BPS, and BPZ) related compounds (4-cumylphenol dihydroxybenzophenone) in honey food simulant. After sample preconcentration with Oasis HLB cartridges, analytes were silylated analyzed by GC-MS. The validated methods LODs sub ng g-1 applied to 36 samples from European non-European countries simulant stored selected corresponding containers. Honey contained BPA, BPZ amounts up 107, 53.5, 12.8, 31.6, 302,...
Continuous consumption combined with incomplete removal during wastewater treatment means residues of psychoactive substances (licit drugs, medications abuse and illicit drugs) are constantly introduced into the aquatic environment, where they have potential to affect non-target organisms. In this study, 17 drug were determined in influent, effluent receiving rivers six Slovene municipal plants employing different technologies. Variations efficiencies (REs) spring, summer winter explored,...
Abstract Today, tris‐s‐triazine based graphitic carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ) is a new research hot topic. It has unique electronic band structure, high physicochemical stability, large surface area, and “earth‐abundant.” These other properties have made it highly researched material especially for visible light photocatalysis photodegradation applications as the starting from which to develop novel electrochemical sensing platforms. In this review, state‐of‐the‐art technologies utilizing...
High-rate algal ponds (HRAP) are an alternative to conventional wastewater treatment that could contribute the circular economy by valorising reclaimed water and biomass. This short communication presents removal of nutrients contaminants emerging concern (CEC) in a pilot-scale HRAP treating primary municipal wastewater. Average total organic carbon, nitrogen, NH4-N, phosphorus PO4-P, was 67%, 76%, 87%, 41% 46%, respectively. In addition, 12 CECs were detected influent five effluent....
This review includes one hundred and two peer reviewed papers that focus on metabolic residues of the most used licit drugs globally, nicotine (nicotine, cotinine, trans-3'-hydroxycotinine – HCOT) alcohol (ethyl sulphate ethyl glucuronide), in waste- environmental waters. Sampling strategies analytical methods are also summarised discussed. Although grab sampling is widely applied method for collecting samples (74% cases), wastewater typically composite collected automatically at treatment...
As population growth and climate change add to the problem of water scarcity in many regions, argument for using treated wastewater irrigation is becoming increasingly compelling, which makes understanding risks associated with uptake harmful chemicals by crops crucial. In this study, 14 emerging concern (CECs) 27 potentially toxic elements (PTEs) was studied tomatoes grown soil-less (hydroponically) soil (lysimeters) media irrigated potable LC-MS/MS ICP-MS. Bisphenol S, 2,4 bisphenol F,...
