Emerging contaminants are substances found in the environment whose concentrations vary from µg to ng L-1 and whose presence in wastewater has gained popularity in the scientific community due to the potential impacts these ...

Activated hydrochars obtained from the hydrothermal carbonization of orange peels (Citrus sinensis) followed by various thermochemical processing were assessed as adsorbents for emerging contaminants in water. Thermal ...

A suspect screening methodology was developed for the fast and reliable identification of 360 contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) of anthropogenic origin in the vulnerable area of the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, Spain) and ...

Background: Traditional drinking water and wastewater treatments used in Latin-American and Caribbean coun- tries are meant to improve the organoleptic, and microbiological characteristics and to remove nutrients. How- ever, ...

Submarine sewage outfalls (SSOs) are considered the main input source of contaminants of emerging concern continuously released in coastal areas, with the potential to cause adverse effects for aquatic organisms. This work ...

Purpose: A comparison was made between three chemical methods to predict bioaccessibility of triclosan (TCS), bisphenol A (BPA), and 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in marine sediments, involving an exchangeable (E) value, ...
