Although several studies confirmed a wide distribution of pharmaceuticals in rivers and streams, limited knowledge is available about the partitioning between water phase suspended particulate matter (SPM). To close this gap knowledge, we developed validated sensitive high throughput analytical method for analysis 57 pharmaceuticals, 42 metabolites transformation products (TP) as well artificial sweetener acesulfame sorbed to SPM. The was based on pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) followed...
A sensitive multiresidue method was developed to quantify 35 pharmaceuticals and 28 metabolites/transformation products (TPs) in fish liver, fillet plasma via LC-MS/MS. The designed cover a broad range of substance polarities. This objective realized by using non-discriminating sample clean-ups including separation technique based on size exclusion, namely restricted access media (RAM) chromatography. universal clean-up allows for an easy integration further organic micropollutants into the...
A collaborative trial involving 16 participants from nine European countries was conducted within the NORMAN network in efforts to harmonise suspect and non-target screening of environmental contaminants whole fish samples bream (Abramis brama). Participants were provided with freeze-dried, homogenised a contaminated reference site, extracts (spiked non-spiked) sample preparation protocols for liquid chromatography (LC) gas (GC) coupled high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). extracted...
In the context of long-term safety assessment high-level nuclear waste (HLW) disposal, initial release metal ions from cementitious materials used as technical barriers is great interest due to their possible interactions with HLW radionuclides (e.g. influencing retention behaviour in engineered and natural barriers) water ingress. geochemical conditions northern Germany, porewater very high salinity, salt contents up 2·5 M. this work, elemental composition leaching (with different types...
