Source identification of amphetamine-like stimulants in Spanish wastewater through enantiomeric profiling
(Elsevier, 2021-11-01)
[EN]Amphetamine (AMP), methamphetamine (MAMP) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) occur in wastewater not only as a result of illicit consumption, but also, in some cases, from prescription drug use or by direct ...
A novel SPE-UHPLC-DAD method for the determination of fumagillin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus in cell culture media
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]Fumagillin is a biomolecule produced by Aspergillus fumigatus that is gaining relevance due to its connection with invasive aspergillosis. The determination of this molecule might help to understand the propagation of ...
Use of illicit drugs, alcohol and tobacco in Spain and Portugal during the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 as measured by wastewater-based epidemiology
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly worldwide in the year 2020, which was initially restrained by drastic mobility restrictions. In this work, we investigated the use of illicit drugs (amphetamine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, ...
Multilevel responses of adult zebrafish to crude and chemically dispersed oil exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Background The application of chemical dispersants is a common remediation strategy when accidental oil spills occur in aquatic environments. Breaking down the oil slick into small droplets, dispersants facilitate the ...
Effect-directed analysis of a hospital effluent sample using A-YES for the identification of endocrine disrupting compounds
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
An effect-directed analysis (EDA) approach was used to identify the compounds responsible for endocrine disruption in a hospital effluent (Basque Country). In order to facilitate the identification of the potentially toxic ...
Prioritization based on risk assessment to study the bioconcentration and biotransformation of pharmaceuticals in glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) from the Adour estuary (Basque Country, France)
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The presence of contaminants of emerging concern in the aquatic environment directly impacts water-living organisms and can alter their living functions. These compounds are often metabolized and excreted, but they can ...
Bio-based hybrid nanocomposites as multifunctional sustainable materials for stone conservation
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
This study was aimed at developing a sustainable versatile bio-based epoxy-silica material to be potentially employed as hydrophobic and biocidal consolidating product in the field of stone conservation. For this purpose, ...
Comparison of conventional and dispersive solid phase extraction clean-up approaches for the simultaneous analysis of tetracyclines and sulfonamides in a variety of fresh vegetables
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
he extensive use of antibiotics in agriculture has led to the occurrence of residual drugs in different vegetables frequently consumed by humans. This could pose a potential threat to human health, not only because of the ...
Development of an alginate/TiO2-based microfluidic biosystem for chrono-sampling and sensing of glucose in artificial sweat
(Elsevier, 2023-05)
Glucose is an analyte of great importance, both in the clinical and sports fields. As an alternative to standard blood analysis, sweat arises as an easily accessible, non-invasive biofluid, as well as a great candidate to ...
Development of non-destructive analytical strategies based on Raman spectroscopy and complementary techniques for Mars Sample Return tested on Northwest Africa 1950 Martian meteorite
(Wiley, 2022-12)
The Mars Sample Return (MSR) is a near future mission to return samples from the surface of Mars to the Earth. The field operations to carry out data collection, selection of the samples, and sampling procedure, mainly ...
