Abstract Background The NORMAN Association ( https://www.norman-network.com/ ) initiated the Suspect List Exchange (NORMAN-SLE; https://www.norman-network.com/nds/SLE/ in 2015, following collaborative trial on non-target screening of environmental water samples by mass spectrometry. Since then, this exchange information chemicals that are expected to occur environment, along with accompanying expert knowledge and references, has become a valuable base for “suspect screening” lists....
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...
The proliferation of new psychoactive substances (NPS) over recent years has made their surveillance complex. analysis raw municipal influent wastewater can allow a broader insight into community consumption patterns NPS. This study examines data from an international program that collected and analysed samples up to 47 sites in 16 countries between 2019 2022. Influent were the New Year period using validated liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry methods. Over three years, total 18 NPS...
The ongoing pandemic caused by the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in millions deaths worldwide despite various measures announced authorities. Wastewater-based epidemiology ability to provide a day-to-day estimation number infected people fast and cost-effective manner. However, owing complex nature wastewater, wastewater monitoring for viral genome copies is affected extensive fragmentation that takes place all way sewage analytical lab. aim this study was evaluate different...
Pesticides have been used in large amounts around the world for decades and are responsible environmental pollution various adverse effects on human health. Analysis of untreated wastewater can deliver useful information pesticides' use a particular area allow assessment exposure to certain substances. A wide-scope screening method, based liquid chromatography coupled quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, was applied, using both target suspect methodologies. Daily composite influent...
Pharmaceuticals are inadequately removed by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), allowing their residues to contaminate the environment and pose potential risks. This study investigates occurrence, removal efficiency, environmental risks of 16 pharmaceuticals in three WWTPs Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Seasonal variations leaching behavior these compounds when is applied soil were also examined using laboratory column experiments.A total 144 samples over 12 months 80 collected analyzed. Wastewater...
Considering the lack of effective treatments against COVID-19, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is emerging as a cost-effective approach for real-time population-wide SARS-CoV-2 monitoring. Here, we report novel molecular assays sensitive detection and mutational/variant analysis in wastewater. Highly stable regions RNA were identified by stability targeted development nested PCR assays. Targeted DNA sequencing (DNA-seq) was applied quantification mutations/variants, following...

Polyamines are a group of organic compounds that can be found in variety foods including meat, fish, vegetables, and milk products infant formula. Existing methods developed for the quantification polyamines formulas do not assess matrix effect therefore potentially under- or over-quantifying polyamine content. Infant formula is specialized food where accurate imperative. In current study, detailed RP-HPLC-UV analytical method an was developed, which evaluated. The new validated terms...
Pollution levels in an urban street-canyon area are determined numerically as part of the European research project OSCAR using ADREA-HF code. Aim modeling is twofold: (i) to investigate flow-field and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations (ii) compare with measurements. The latter achieved due availability measurements, contrary previous street-canyon-simulation studies where was used no measurements were available. Results show a tendency overprediction CO concentration by model that...
