Microestuaries have a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and human life quality heavily populated areas. They are also the last barrier controlling fluxes of pollutants from land to sea. Here, we report occurrence distribution per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during dry season three microestuaries. The total PFAS concentration (n = 12) at studied estuaries was very high global perspective with maximum median concentrations 17.4 3.4 μg L–1, respectively. These significantly exceed...

Apex predators are good indicators of environmental pollution since they relatively long-lived and their high trophic position spatiotemporal exposure to chemicals provides insights into the persistent, bioaccumulative toxic (PBT) properties chemicals. Although monitoring data from apex can considerably support chemicals' management, there is a lack pan-European studies, longer-term in organisms higher levels. The present study investigated occurrence contaminants emerging concern (CECs) 67...

The sonochemical degradation of trimethoprim (TMP), a widely used antibiotic, in various water matrices was investigated. effect several parameters, such as initial TMP concentration (0.5–3 mg/L), actual power density (20–60 W/L), solution pH (3–10), inorganic ions, humic acid and matrix on kinetics examined. pseudo-first order rate found to increase with increasing decreasing pH, complexity (ultrapure > bottled secondary wastewater) concentration. is accompanied by the formation...

The Dutch breeding population of the black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa has declined substantially over recent decades; role contaminants is unknown. We analysed liver samples from 11 adult birds found dead on their grounds in SW Friesland 2016-2020, six extensive, herb-rich grasslands, five intensive grasslands. carried out LC and GC wide-scope target analysis more than 2400 substances, suspect screening for 60,000 Cd, Hg, Ni Pb, organo-phosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), dechlorane plus...

The increasing use of chemicals in the European Union (EU) has resulted environmental emissions and wildlife exposures. For approving a chemical within EU, producers need to conduct an risk assessment, which typically relies on data generated under laboratory conditions without considering ecological landscape context. To address this gap add information emerging contaminants mixtures, we analysed 30 livers white-tailed sea eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) from northern Germany with high...

Chemicals are part of our daily lives, and we exposed to numerous chemicals through multiple pathways. Relevant scientific evidence contributing the regulation hazardous require a holistic approach assess simultaneous exposure compounds. Biomonitoring provides an accurate estimation very complex costly sampling campaigns. Finding efficient proxies predict risk chemical in humans is urgent need cover large areas populations at reasonable cost. We conducted exploratory study characterize human...

An extended suspect screening approach for the comprehensive chemical characterization of scrubber discharge waters from exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCSs), used to reduce atmospheric shipping emissions sulphur oxides, was developed. The based on chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) and focused identification polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) their alkylated derivatives (alkyl-PAHs), which are among most frequent potentially toxic organic...
