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...
Environmental estrogens in wastewater treatment work (WwTW) effluents are well established as the principal cause of reproductive disruption wild fish populations, but their possible role wider health effects has not been established.We assessed contribution to adverse induced a model species by exposure WwTW and compared an estrogen alone part complex mixture (i.e., spiked into effluent).Growth, genotoxic, immunotoxic, metabolic, endocrine (feminized) responses were fathead minnows...
In this work, zebrafish embryo bioassays were performed to assess the efficiency of microalgae in removal acetaminophen from water. Chlorella sorokiniana (CS), vulgaris (CV) and Scenedesmus obliquus (SO) strains used for water treatment. Toxic effects on caused by effluents treatment compared with those observed under exposure experimental solutions known concentrations acetaminophen. The three allowed reduction concentration its toxic effects, but CS was most efficient one. At end batch...
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are compounds diverse origins that have not been deeply studied in the past which now accruing growing environmental interest. The NOR-Water project aimed to identify main CECs and their sources water environment Northern Portugal-Galicia (located northwest Spain) transnational region. To achieve these goals, a suspect screening analytical methodology based on use liquid chromatography coupled high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was applied 29...
The deep sea is the biggest ecosystem on Earth, representing around 90% of marine environment. Despite its remoteness and inaccessibility, under constant threat from anthropogenic activities. Among them deep-sea mining, that quickly rising as an appealing alternative to land-based mining. Deep-sea mining refers extraction mineral resources seabed, activity can potentially, among other consequences, release large plumes sediments ore across water column affecting vast areas ocean. present...
The current manuscript presents a review on existing kiln burner technologies for the cement production process, in context of climate energy transition and environmental remediation. Environmental legislation has become ever stricter response to global change, plants need adapt this new reality order remain competitive market ensure their longevity. process is well-established technology with more than century existence. There are several operation whose outdated by modern standards,...
