Sewage released from lakeside development can reshape ecological communities. Nearshore periphyton rapidly assimilate sewage-associated nutrients, leading to increases of filamentous algal abundance, thus altering both food abundance and quality for grazers. In Lake Baikal, a large, ultra-oligotrophic, remote lake in Siberia, has increased near developments, localized sewage input is the suspec...

Soil dwelling organisms, plants and many primary consumers in food webs face the challenge of exposure to contaminants emerging concern (CECs) present terrestrial systems, including thousands substances derived from pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs). The recent increase consumption modern human or veterinary drugs has resulted a surge anthropogenic pharmaceuticals, frequently introd...

The Buenavista landfill is located east of the city Medellín, but it has a slope steeper than 30% and less 600 m away from Piedras River, possibly influencing quality drinking water in city. Many complex residues are disposed this landfill, including pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs) such as levonorgestrel (LNG), which may reach bodies via runoff leaching. We assessed levels LNG ef...

Circular economy (CE) is defined as a system in which the value of products, materials and resources maintained for long possible, minimizing their consumption generation waste. Within CE framework, anaerobic digestion (AD) represents an attractive technology, it uses waste to produce biogas renewable energy stabilizes sewage sludge land application. In this way, technology contributes “closing...

Frequent consumption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have emerged as a current problem that highlights the pressing need for new multi-residue analytical methods allow their simultaneous determination to assess overall effect on human health. In this regard first time, versatile microfluidic based- liquid phase microextraction (LPME) method was developed monitoring ten com...

Priority pollutants constitute only a part of the large chemical pollution puzzle where the number of potentially hazardous chemicals that reaches the environment is very wide and new substances are constantly being developed and released. Among them, a diverse group of unregulated pollutants, many times called "emerging" contaminants, including pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs...
