The discharge of persistent and mobile organic chemicals (PMOCs) into the aquatic environment is a threat to quality our water resources. PMOCs are highly polar (mobile in water) can pass through wastewater treatment plants, subsurface environments potentially also drinking processes. While few such compounds known, we infer that their number actually much larger. This Feature highlights issue from an environmental perspective assesses gaps appear exist terms analysis, monitoring,...
Abstract Background and aims Wastewater‐based epidemiology is an additional indicator of drug use that gaining reliability to complement the current established panel indicators. The this study were to: (i) assess spatial temporal trends population‐normalized mass loads benzoylecgonine, amphetamine, methamphetamine 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in raw wastewater over 7 years (2011–17); (ii) address overall by estimating average number combined doses consumed per day each city;...
A novel analytical method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the determination of UV sunscreen agents in water environment is presented. After a thorough investigation SPE LC-MS/MS conditions, it permits enrichment nine these compounds single methodology, including three very polar sulfonates (e.g., 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, PBSA) six other less benzophenone-3, BP-3; octocrylene,...
Abstract A method for the determination of several household biocides in water by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐MS/MS) is presented. It permits simultaneous triclosan (TCS), triclocarban (TCC) and seven parabens, including distinction between branched linear isomers propyl ( i ‐PrP n ‐PrP) butyl parabens ‐BuP ‐BuP). Prior to LC/MS/MS, analytes are preconcentrated solid‐phase extraction (SPE) on Oasis HLB (60 mg) cartridges at natural sample pH...
For the first time, a mixed-mode solid-phase extraction with fractionation of basic analytes from neutral and acidic species during cartridge elution liquid chromatography–quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC–QTOF-MS) was combined for quantitative determination 24 illicit drugs metabolites in urban sewage samples. The effects several sample preparation instrumental parameters sensitivity selectivity method are thoroughly discussed. Under final working conditions, recoveries above...
This study proposes the monitoring of phthalate metabolites in wastewater as a nonintrusive and economic alternative to urine analysis for estimating human exposure phthalates. To this end, solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed, allowing determination eight (limits quantification between 0.5 32 ng L-1). The samples from NW region Spain showed that these substances occur raw up ca. 1.6 μg L-1 treated 1 L-1. Concentrations were converted...
Synthetic cathinones are among the most consumed new psychoactive substances (NPS), but their increasing number and interchangeable market make it difficult to estimate real size of consumption. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) through analysis metabolic residues these in urban wastewater can provide this information. This study applied WBE for first time investigate presence 17 synthetic four European countries. A method based on solid-phase extraction liquid chromatography coupled...
The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly worldwide in the year 2020, which was initially restrained by drastic mobility restrictions. In this work, we investigated use of illicit drugs (amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis), licit substances abuse (alcohol tobacco) during earlier months (March–July 2020) restrictions four Spanish (Bilbao its metropolitan area, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Castellón Santiago de Compostela) two Portuguese (Porto Vila do Conde) locations wastewater-based...
