Thousands of organic micropollutants and their transformation products occur in water. Although often present at low concentrations, individual compounds contribute to mixture effects. Cell-based bioassays that target health-relevant biological endpoints may therefore complement chemical analysis for water quality assessment. The objective this study was evaluate cell-based suitability benchmark assess efficacy treatment processes. selected cover relevant steps the toxicity pathways...
Passive and composite sampling in combination with vitro bioassays identification quantification of individual chemicals were applied to characterize pollution by compounds several specific modes action urban area the basin two rivers, 400,000 inhabitants a variety industrial activities. Two types passive samplers, semipermeable membrane devices (SPMD) for hydrophobic contaminants polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) such as pesticides pharmaceuticals, used sample wastewater...
The main objective of this research project (“Fate Sees”) was to verify on a European-wide scale the occurrence as many possible organic and inorganic chemical contaminants in WWTP effluents, order get European overview. In year 2010, effluents from 90 waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) were collected analysed total for 160 chemicals 20 trace elements. analyses complemented by applying also effect-based monitoring approaches aiming at estrogenicity dioxin-like toxicity vitro reporter gene...
