The Ross Sea, among the least human-impacted marine environments worldwide, recently became first protected area in Antarctica. To assess impact of Italian research station Mario Zucchelli (MZS) on surrounding waters, passive sampling - as well spot for comparison took place effluent wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and receiving surface waters. Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS) were deployed six consecutive 2-week periods from November to February a reservoir collecting...
Abstract Many dietary supplements claim the ability to enhance sports performance and improve fitness of consumers. Occasionally, along with legal ingredients, illicit compounds may be added without being labelled, leading unintended doping. Hence, aim this study was develop an analytical method determine a set 12 polar (logD pH=7 from −2.0 +0.3) including diuretics, stimulants, β 2 -agonists, methylxanthines, sweeteners. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography chosen as separation...
The need and availability of freshwater is a major environmental issue, aggravated by climate change. It necessary to find alternative sources freshwater. Wastewater could represent valid option but requires extensive treatment remove wastewater-borne contaminants, such as contaminants emerging concern (CECs). urgent develop not only sustainable effective wastewater techniques, also water quality assessment methods. In this study, we used polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS)...
An innovative photocatalyst was prepared via sol-gel process by combining TiO2 with commercial CaAl2O4 persistent luminescence material (PeL), to act as internal irradiation source. To find the optimized synthetic conditions for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency, a full factorial experimental design (23) applied, investigating degradation of Methylene Blue (MB). Significant samples were characterized XRD, DRS, SEM-EDS, and BET techniques then tested Salbutamol Contaminant Emerging Concern...
Despite their diffusion in research studies, passive samplers are rarely used regulatory applications. To expand the employment of environmental standardized procedures for processing each sampler type should be proposed and accepted, but currently, study develops its own protocol based on previous knowledge specific needs. In this work, six identical polar organic chemical integrative seawater were deployed to understand importance sorbent transfer method prior elution step. A common "wet...
The feasibility of exploiting secondary raw materials from marine food-chains as a source molecules nutritional interest, to create high-value food products and meet challenges, is described in this report. A reduction waste urgent many sectors the industry damage environment by depleting resources generating that must be treated. project herein described, deals with recovery natural molecules, omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) α-tocopherol, fish processing by-products. This would promote...
The aim of the present study is to develop selective extracting materials applicable a diversity fluoroquinolones. A series Molecularly Imprinted Materials (MIPs) were prepared in order choose nature monomer and that porogen together with its ratio cross-linker. non-regulated quinolone, Levofloxacin, was used as template avoid false positive results application. resulting MIPs evaluated MISPE experiments for Enrofloxacin. polymer using methyl acrylate (MA) MeOH/CHCl3 (1:1, v/v) provided...
The determination of trace pollutants in seawater is challenging, and sampling a crucial step the entire analytical process. Passive samplers combine situ preconcentration, thus limiting tedious treatment steps conventional methods. Their use to monitor water quality confined marine environment could bring several advantages. In this work, presence organic contaminants at ultra-trace levels was assessed Genoa Aquarium supply-and-treated using Polar Organic Integrative Samplers (POCIS). Both...
The use of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes as single-phase passive samplers was tested for the detection nine emerging contaminants (three estrogens, bisphenol-A, triclosan and four UV-filters). sorption kinetics onto PES were assessed using tap water synthetic seawater. To obtain a reliable sampling procedure, accuracy extraction method evaluated in terms recovery, matrix effect precision. recoveries ranged between 66 % 85 %, while effects resulted acceptable (58 %−126 %), even field...
Abstract Within the world of natural food supplements, organic extracts deriving from young plant meristematic tissue (bud-derivatives) are becoming attractive, thanks to their richness in bioactive molecules. This source is scarce, but every year, tons material, including buds, come city pruning. If this sustainable rather promising a circular economy point view, safety obtained supplements must be assessed. In fact, anthropic microcontaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...
