This Technical Guidance Document on Biota Monitoring (the Implementation of EQSbiota) aims to facilitate the implementation environmental quality standards (EQS) in biota under Water Framework Directive by addressing particular sampling strategies appropriate for monitoring programmes designed assess compliance with biota EQS. It is Guidance No. 32 series guidance documents prepared support the Common Strategy (CIS) Directive. It elaborates extensively content 25 Chemical Monitoring...
Environmental water quality monitoring aims to provide the data required for safeguarding environment against adverse biological effects from multiple chemical contamination arising anthropogenic diffuse emissions and point sources. Here, we integrate experience of international EU-funded project SOLUTIONS shift focus a few legacy chemicals complex mixtures, identify relevant drivers toxic effects. Monitoring serves range purposes, control ecological status compliance specific uses, such as...
The performance of seven passive sampling devices for the monitoring dissolved concentrations polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorobenzene, and p,p′-DDE was evaluated through simultaneous field exposures 7−28 days in River Meuse (The Netherlands). Data from Chemcatcher, low density polyethylene membranes, two versions membrane-enclosed sorptive coating (MESCO) sampler, silicone rods, strips semipermeable membrane (SPMD) assessed rate...
The occurrence of chemical and biological contaminants emerging concern (CECs) was investigated in treated wastewater intended for reuse agriculture. An agarose hydrogel diffusion-based passive sampler exposed to the outlet a treatment plant (WWTP) located Cyprus, which is equipped with membrane bioreactor (MBR). Passive samplers triplicate were according time-series exposure plan maximum duration 28 days. Composite flow-proportional samples collected parallel sampling processed by solid...
Abstract The Partnership for Chemicals Risk Assessment (PARC) is currently under development as a joint research and innovation programme to strengthen the scientific basis chemical risk assessment in EU. plan bring assessors managers together with scientists accelerate method production of necessary data knowledge, facilitate transition next-generation evidence-based assessment, non-toxic environment European Green Deal. NORMAN Network an independent, well-established competent network more...
This review examines the environmental occurrence and fate of aromatic amines (AAs), a group contaminants with possible carcinogenic mutagenic effects. AAs are known to be partially responsible for genotoxic traits industrial wastewater (WW), AA antioxidants acutely toxic some aquatic organisms. Still, there gaps in available data on sources, occurrence, transport, domestic WW indoor environments, which complicate prevention adverse effects ecosystems. We key sources these compounds,...
The use of lipid-containing semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) is becoming commonplace, but the potential effects environmental variables affecting accumulation contaminants into SPMDs had not been characterized sufficiently, yet. To characterize effect hydrodynamic conditions on contaminant uptake kinetics, pentachlorobenzene, hexachlorobenzene, and hexachlorocyclohexane isomers from water SPMD was studied at various flow rates. kinetics hydrophobic compounds (log Kow > 4) are governed...
Monitoring methodologies reflecting the long-term quality and contamination of surface waters are needed to obtain a representative picture pollution identify risk drivers. This study sets baseline for characterizing chemical in Danube River using an innovative approach, combining continuous three-months use passive sampling technology with comprehensive (747 chemicals) bioanalytical (seven vitro bioassays) assessment during Joint Survey (JDS4). is one world's largest investigative...
Information on the indoor environment as a source of exposure with potential adverse health effects is mostly limited to few pollutant groups and types. This study provides comprehensive toxicological profile chemical mixtures associated dust from various types environments, namely cars, houses, prefabricated apartments, kindergartens, offices, public spaces, schools. Organic extracts two different polarities bioaccessible mimicking gastrointestinal conditions were prepared particle size...
An integrative sampler that consists of a bar coated with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) enclosed in dialysis membrane bag has been developed combining the advantages passive sampling approach solventless preconcentration organic solutes from aqueous matrixes and subsequent desorption sequestered analytes on-line capillary GC/MS system. The performance was tested for hydrophobic persistent pollutants including gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane, hexachlorobenzene,...
