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;...
Olive oil polyphenols have shown beneficial properties against cardiovascular risk factors. Their consumption has been associated with higher cholesterol content in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). However, data on polyphenol effects HDL quality are scarce. We, therefore, assessed whether polyphenol-rich olive could enhance the main function, its efflux capacity, and some of quality-related properties, such content, size, composition.A randomized, crossover, controlled trial 47 healthy...
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...
This work investigated, during one year, the occurrence and fate of 52 contaminants emerging concern (CECs) in transnational river basins coastal areas North Portugal Galicia (NW Spain) wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) discharging on these environments. The different CECs investigated included pharmaceuticals, personal care products, industrial chemicals, among others, which ca. 90 % would fulfill persistence, mobility toxicity criteria proposed by German Environmental Agency. results...
The current study aimed to investigate major knowledge gaps regarding the application of anodic oxidation (AO) process with boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes for remediation water matrices contaminated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This included: (i) degradation ultrashort-chain (C1-C3) long-chain (C9-C13) PFAS in addition short- medium-chain (C4-C8) PFAS, (ii) multi-solute systems different content (0.2 µg L-1 versus 2.0 L-1) diversity (24 C1-C13 8 C1-C8) single-solute systems,...
The presence of persistent and mobile organic contaminants (PMOC) in aquatic environments is a matter high concern due to their capability crossing through natural anthropogenic barriers, even reaching drinking water. Most analytical methods rely on reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), which quite limited for the detection very polar chemicals. Thus, many these PMOCs may have not been recognized as water pollutants yet, lack capable detect them. Mixed-mode LC (MMLC), providing...
The presence of persistent and mobile organic contaminants (PMOC) in aquatic environments has become a matter concern due to their ability breaking through natural anthropogenic barriers, even reaching drinking water. many these compounds surface water been reported screening studies, but there is still lack analytical methods capable quantifying them. Herein, we propose method combining mixed-mode-solid-phase extraction (MM-SPE) as preconcentration technique mixed-mode liquid chromatography...
This study analyzed how maternal obesity affected fatty acids (FAs) in breast milk and their association with infant growth cognition to raise awareness about the programming effect of health promote a healthy prenatal weight. Mother-child pairs (n = 78) were grouped per pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI): normal-weight (BMI 18.5-24.99), overweight 25-29.99) obese > 30). Colostrum mature FAs determined. Infant anthropometry at 6, 18 36 months age analyzed. Mature exhibited lower arachidonic...
This work provides a screening of organic contaminants and characterization the dissolved matter in sewer network until municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), identifying areas with higher degree contamination their impact on WWTP performance, particularly activated sludge reactor. Three monitoring campaigns were carried out at six selected locations sewage system (PVZ-1, PVZ-2, PS-F, PS-VC, CP-VC, PS-T), influent (WWTPINF) effluent (WWTPEFF) WWTP. Advanced analytical techniques...
This review describes a wide variety of analytical approaches for the assessment human exposure to organic chemicals associated with plastic additives, focusing on works published in last decade plasticisers, bisphenols, flame retardants and antioxidants. Physiologically based extraction tests serve as preliminary in-vitro assays determine bioaccessibility these compounds from micro/nanoplastics body fluids gastrointestinal tract, skin, or lung. Whenever plastic-laden become bioavailable,...
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become an invaluable tool for tracking the evolution of use or exposure of/to numerous substances. Bisphenols, commonly utilized in manufacturing plastic goods, have been categorized as endocrine disrupting chemicals, underscoring critical need real-time data on their local-level to safeguard public health. In this study, we developed a novel analytical method and WBE framework assessment population-level bisphenol A (BPA) its most prominent...
Background: Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) has traditionally been used in folk medicine to treat hypertension; however, clinical studies are limited show efficacy as an antihypertensive. Today, hypertension is important comorbidity the face of covid-19 pandemic. The objective this study was assess effect a commercial H. infusion on blood pressure (BP) levels hypertensive patients through pilot study. Materials and Methods: Patients with previous diagnosis were chosen, regardless their BP...
