Influence of an urban waste treatment plant in general population´s PCDDs, PCDFs and dl-PCBs serum levels in Basque Country (Spain) Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM[|]The start-up of a waste treatment plant in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country) gave the opportunity to make a pre-post study to analyse PCDD/F and dl-PCB levels in serum of the adult population living near and far from the facil…

Characterization of PCDD/F and dl-PCB levels in air in Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain) Open
This research examines the levels and trends of pollutants, specifically 17 congeners of PCDD/Fs and 12 dl-PCBs, in the air measured in the province of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain). The study used PCDD/Fs, dl-PCB, and the sum of dioxin…

Assessment of Micro- and Nanoplastic Composition (Polymers and Additives) in the Gastrointestinal Tracts of Ebro River Fishes Open
One of the main routes of fish exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) is their ingestion. MNPLs can act as reservoirs of organic contaminants that are adsorbed onto their surfaces, or that can leach from their complex formulations, wi…

Polymers of micro- and nanoplastics in household tap water of Barcelona Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM. Microplastics are emerging persistent pollutants present in drinking water. Previous studies evaluate 100-5 m particles, although smaller sizes are more biologically relevant and evidence suggest higher occurrence leve…

Health risk assessment of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in baby clothes. A preliminary study Open
Clothes may contain a large range of chemical additives and other toxic substances, which may eventually pose a significant risk to human health. Since they are associated with pigments, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may be especially r…

Screening and Quantification of Micro(Nano)Plastics and Plastic Additives in the Seawater of Mar Menor Lagoon Open
In this work a suspect-screening approach was employed to assess the polymers and plastic additives of micro(nano)plastics (NPL/MPLs) of size ranges from the nm range to 20 μm present in seawater from the top 5 cm of the Mar Menor lagoon d…

Air monitoring with passive samplers for dioxin-like persistent organic pollutants in developing countries (2017–2019) Open
As part of the global monitoring plan on persistent organic pollutants (GMP) under the Stockholm Convention passive air samplers equipped with polyurethane foam disks (PUFs) were applied to monitor dioxin-like POPs. For sampling, toluene-p…

Adsorption and Desorption Behaviour of Polychlorinated Biphenyls onto Microplastics’ Surfaces in Water/Sediment Systems Open
The potential of microplastics (MPLs) in marine ecosystems to adsorb and transport other micropollutants to biota, contributing to their entry in the food chain, is a primary cause of concern. However, these interactions remain poorly unde…

Occurrence of Cerium-, Titanium-, and Silver-Bearing Nanoparticles in the Besòs and Ebro Rivers Open
The presence of anthropogenic nanoparticles (NPs) in the aquatic environment has become an emerging concern in terms of environmental and health safety. In the present study, we assessed the presence of Ag-bearing, Ti-bearing, and Ce-beari…

Occurrence of C60 and related fullerenes in the Sava River under different hydrologic conditions Open
The presence of nanomaterials in the environment has caught the attention of the scientific because of the uncertainties in their fate, mobility and potential toxic effects. However, few studies have determined experimentally their concent…
