Approaches to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assessment of glyphosate residues in wine
(Springer, 2021)The performance of two different analytical methodologies to investigate the presence of glyphosate (GLY) and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) residues in wine samples was evaluated. Transformation of compounds in their ... -
Assessing alcohol consumption through wastewater-based epidemiology: Spain as a case study
(Elsevier, 2020)Background In this study, an alternative and complementary method to those approaches currently used to estimate alcohol consumption by the population is described. This method, known as wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), ... -
Assessing Cocaine Use Patterns in the Brazilian Capital by Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-12-10)The levels of cocaine (COC) and its metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and cocaethylene (COE) in wastewater samples from Brasilia, Brazil, were determined using liquid chromatography coupled to hybrid quadrupole-time-of-flight ... -
Assessing population exposure to phthalate plasticizers in thirteen Spanish cities through the analysis of wastewater
(Elsevier, 2020-06-22)Phthalates are widely used plasticizers that produce endocrine-disrupting disorders. Quantifying exposure is crucial to perform risk assessments and to develop proper health measures. Herein, a wastewater-based epidemiology ... -
Bioaccumulation of organophosphorus flame retardants in the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Elsevier, 2021)The bioaccumulation and depuration of seven organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) in marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were studied. OPFRs showed to be bioavailable in aquatic environments. When mussels are exposed ... -
Bioaccumulation of UV filters in Mytilus galloprovincialis mussel
(Elsevier, 2017-09-29)In this study the bioaccumulation kinetics of organic UV filters, such as 4-MBC, BP-3, BP-4, OC and OD-PABA in wild Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels was investigated. The uptake and accumulation of waterborne 4-MBC, BP-4 ... -
Can UV-C laser pulsed irradiation be used for the removal of organic micropollutants from water? Case study with ibuprofen
(Elsevier, 2020)A novel approach based on the direct pulsed irradiation of UV-C light onto ibuprofen (IBP) solutions was evaluated in this work, as proof of concept for the direct removal of micropollutants. The experiments confirmed that ... -
Characterization of the turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.) myeloperoxidase. An insight into the evolution of vertebrate peroxidases
(Elsevier, 2021)We have completed the characterization of the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) myeloperoxidase (mpx) gene and protein, which we partially described in a previous study. The turbot mpx gene has 15 exons that encode a protein ... -
Chlorination and bromination of 1,3-diphenylguanidine and 1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine: Kinetics, transformation products and toxicity assessment
(Elsevier, 2019-11-13)This works investigates the chlorination and bromination of two rubber and polymer related chemicals, which have emerged as relevant water contaminants, i.e. 1,3-di-o-tolylguanidine (DTG) and 1,3-diphenylguanidine (DPG). ... -
Chronic environmentally relevant levels of simvastatin disrupt embryonic development, biochemical and molecular responses in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier, 2018-05-25)Simvastatin (SIM), a hypocholesterolaemic compound, is among the most prescribed pharmaceuticals for cardiovascular disease prevention worldwide. Several studies have shown that acute exposure to SIM causes multiple adverse ... -
