In this study the enzymatic degradation of hormones and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) was investigated in artificial mixtures real wastewater by fungal laccases (Trametes versicolor, Myceliophthora thermophila). Several studies have already reported successful EDCs. However, with regards to a large-scale application, influence some factors such as enzyme immobilization costs are often lacking. Furthermore, majority removal EDCs chemical analysis only, while our main interest use...
This work describes the development of analytical workflows based on pyrolysis coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Pyr-GC/MS) for qualitative and quantitative analysis 12 most common plastic polymers in environmental samples. The suitable characteristic pyrolyzate compounds respective indicator ions were selected each polymer order to obtain appropriate response purposes. Additionally, commercial pyrolyzates libraries used confirm identity detected microplastics. method was...
Freshwater ecosystems are threatened by multiple anthropogenic stressors, which might be differentiated into two types: those that reduce biological activity at all concentrations (toxic contaminants), and subsidize low it high (assimilable contaminants). When occurring in mixtures, these contaminants can have either antagonistic, neutral or synergistic effects; but little is known on their joint effects. We assessed the interaction effects of a mixture assimilable toxic stream biofilms...
N-nitrosamines (NAs), and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in particular, are hazardous disinfection byproducts (DBPs) relevant when wastewater impacts drinking water sources and, reuse practices. Our study investigates the concentrations of NDMA five additional NAs their precursors industrial effluents. Aiming to identify potential differences between typologies, wastewaters from 38 industries belonging 11 types UN International Standard Industrial Classification All Economic Activities system...
Different <italic>N</italic>-nitrosamines and their precursors were analyzed, with a highly sensitive new analytical method, across water treatment plants distribution systems from Spain. Additional to NDMA, we suggest include NDEA in monitoring programs.
Abstract In this paper, we propose a comparative study to check the matrix effect on extraction of three chlorophenols, 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol (TCP), 2,3,4,6‐tetrachlorophenol and pentachlorophenol, direct precursors 2,4,6‐trichloroanisole, in synthetic commercial wines (white red wines). A rapid, simple sensitive methodology based solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) GC with electron capture detection (GC‐ECD) mass spectrometric (GC‐MS) was developed variables affecting process (temperature,...
Although we have extensive datasets on the location and typology of industries, do not know much their generated discharged wastewater. This lack information compromises achievement sustainable development goals focused water (Sustainable Development Goal 6) in Europe globally. Thus, our goal was to assess which degree chemical composition industrial wastewater could be estimated based industry's according its International Standard Industrial Classification All Economic Activities (ISIC)...
