Current farm systems rely on the use of Plant Protection Products (PPP) to secure high productivity and control threats quality crops. However, PPP may have considerable impacts human health environment. A study protocol is presented aiming determine occurrence levels residues in plants (crops), animals (livestock), humans other non-target species (ecosystem representatives) for exposure modelling impact assessment. To achieve this, we designed a cross-sectional compare conventional organic...
The aquatic environment becomes increasingly contaminated by anthropogenic pollutants such as pharmaceutical residues. Due to poor biodegradation and continuous discharge of persistent compounds in sewage water samples, residues might end up surface waters when not removed. To minimize this pollution, onsite wastewater treatment techniques complement conventional waste plants (WWTPs). Advanced oxidation processes are useful techniques, since reactive oxygen species (ROS) used for the...
Pharmaceuticals find their way to the aquatic environment via wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Biotransformation plays an important role in mitigating environmental risks; however, a mechanistic understanding of involved processes is limited. The aim this study was evaluate potential relationships between first-order biotransformation rate constants (kb) nine pharmaceuticals and initial concentration selected compounds, sampling season used activated sludge inocula. Four-day bottle...
Advanced oxidation processes such as thermal plasma activation and UV-C/H
Anatomy teaching and research relies on the use of formaldehyde (FA) as a preservation agent for human animal tissues. Due to recent classification FA carcinogen, university hospitals are facing challenge (further) reduce exposure FA. The aim this study was in anatomy facility. Workers participated development improved work practices, both technical organizational solutions. Over period 6 years mitigating measures were introduced, including improvement down-flow ventilation system,...
Pharmaceutical residues are released in the aquatic environment due to incomplete removal from wastewater. With presence of multiple chemicals sewage waters, contaminants may adversely affect effectiveness a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In certain cases, discharged metabolites transformed back into their pristine structure and become bioactive again. Other compounds persistent can withstand conventional treatment. When WWTP effluents surface environment. To complement WWTPs circumvent...

Advanced oxidation processes such as thermal plasma activation and UV-C/H2O2 treatment are considered new applications for the degradation of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater. It is supposed that direct oxidative can lower toxicity hospital sewage water (HSW).The aim this study was to predict ecotoxicity three aquatic species before after 10 quantified pharmaceuticals water. With application chemistry, degraded into transformation products reaching complete mineralization. To estimate...
Workers involved in the processing of electronic waste (e-waste) are potentially exposed to toxic chemicals, including phthalates (PHs) and alternative plasticizers (APs). Dismantling shredding e-waste may lead production dust that contains these plasticizers. The aim this study, which was part European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU), assess exposure PHs (e.g. di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diethyl (DEP), di-butyl (DBP), butyl-benzyl (BBzP), di-isononyl (DiNP), di-isodecyl...
A historic contamination of chlorinated hydrocarbons from a former dry cleaning shop caused soil contamination. These chemicals and their degradation products intruded into book shop. Indoor air was characterized the uptake by personnel studied biomonitoring. The aim this study to determine indoor quality contaminants products.Samples were collected over one week in warm cold season. sampled using canisters. End-exhaled male female employee before opened after closure time.Chlorinated...
