Pesticides are emerging contaminants frequently detected in the aquatic environment. In this work, a novel approach combining activated carbon adsorption, oxygen plasma treatment and ozonation was studied for the removal of the persistent chlorinated pesticide alachlor. A comparison was made between the removal efficiency and energy consumption for...

A growing number of electrochemical oxidation system was employed for the degradation of refractory contaminants. In this study, a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode/Ti cathode equipped in the differential column batch reactor (DCBR) was utilized for electrochemical oxidation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The feed solution within the DCBR system was confirm...

Knowledge about the occurrence of emerging organic micropollutants in the marine environment is still very limited, especially when focusing on the Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS). This study therefore optimized and validated a Speedisk® based SPE and LC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS method to tackle the challenge of measuring the expected ultra-trace conce...

The robustness of reverse osmosis (RO) against polar organic micropollutants (MPs) was investigated in pilot-scale drinking water treatment. Experiments were carried in hypoxic conditions to treat a raw anaerobic riverbank filtrate spiked with a mixture of thirty model compounds. The chemicals were selected from scientific literature data based on ...

© 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. The occurrence of phenazone-type analgesics, such as aminopyrine, metamizole, phenazone and propyphenazone, has been reported in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants in µg/L concentrations. The presence of the main metabolites of aminopyrine and metamizole—acetamido antipyrine an...

The occurrence of pharmaceutical and illicit drug residues potentially arising from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the Central London portion of the Thames Estuary is presented. Approximately 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage enter the River Thames at 57 CSO points annually. Differential analysis of influents and effluents in a major wastew...

Given the risk of environmental pollution by pharmaceutical compounds and the effects of these compounds on exposed ecosystems, ecologically relevant and realistic assessments are required. However, many studies have been mostly focused on individual responses in a single generation exposed to one-effect concentrations. Here, transcriptional respon...

This study aimed to investigate the degradation of triclosan (TCS) in the presence of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) under simulated sunlight irradiation (λ ≥ 290 nm). The effect of PABA concentration, pH, dissolved organic matter (DOM), and DOM-hydrolytic Fe(III) species complexes on the photodegradation of TCS in the presence of PABA (TCS-PABA) was a...

Despite many efforts for improving the monitoring of an increasing number of chemicals (and their potential by-products), for a more comprehensive and exhaustive estimate of aquatic organism exposure, there is still some questions in relation with both temporal and spatial representativeness of the spot sampling, and also with chemical targeted ana...
