Shedding light on the toxicity of SARS-CoV-2-derived peptide in non-target COVI...
da Luz, Thiarlen Marinho; Araújo, Amanda Pereira da Costa; Rezende, Fernanda Neves Estrêla; Silva, Abner Marcelino; Charlie-Silva, IvesMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:52:59Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-05-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Despite advances in research on the vaccine and therapeutic strategies of COVID-19, little attention has been paid to the possible (eco)toxicological impacts of the dispersion of SARS-CoV-2 particles in natural environments. Thus, in ...
Mapping and assessment of future changes in the coastal and marine ecosystem se...
Inácio, Miguel; Karnauskaitė, Donalda; Gomes, Eduardo; Barceló, Damià; Pereira, PauloAssessing and mapping ecosystem services (ES) became an integral part of coastal and marine management practices. Hence, quantitative and validated approaches are lacking, especially to address future conditions. The objective of this study is to apply further existing and develop new methodological frameworks to quantitatively assess and map the current and future supply of 3 ES in the coastal zone of Lithuani...
Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations (‘Paludiculture’): Enabling ...
Rowan, Neil J.; Murray, Niall; Qiao, Yuansong; O'Neill, E.; Clifford, Eoghan; Barceló, Damià; Power, DeborahThe world is heading in the wrong direction on carbon emissions where we are not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C; Ireland is among the countries where overall emissions have continued to rise. The development of wettable peatland products and services (termed 'Paludiculture') present significant opportunities for enabling a transition away from peat-harvesting (fossil fuels) to developing 'gre...
Antibiotic residues in final effluents of european wastewater treatment plants ...
Rodriguez-Mozaz, Sara; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Giustina, Saulo Varela Della; Llorca, Marta; Barceló, Damià; Schubert, Sara Schubert; Manaia, Celia M.A comprehensive monitoring of a broad set of antibiotics in the final effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) of 7 European countries (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, Finland, and Norway) was carried out in two consecutive years (2015 and 2016). This is the first study of this kind performed at an international level. Within the 53 antibiotics monitored 17 were detected at least once in the f...
Assessment of full-scale tertiary wastewater treatment by UV-C based-AOPs: remo...
Rodríguez-Chueca, Jorge; Giustina, Saulo Varella della; Rocha, Jaqueline; Fernandes, Telma; Pablos, Cristina; Encinas, Ángel; Barceló, DamiàAOPs based on the photolytic decomposition of H2O2 and peroxymonosulfate tested at low dosages (0.05-0.5 mM) and with very low UV-C contact time (4-18 s) demonstrated to be more efficient than UV-C radiation alone on the removal of the analyzed ABs. PMS (0.5 mM) combined with UV-C (7 s contact time) was the most efficient treatment in terms of AB removal: 7 out of 10 ABs detected in the waste water were removed...
Antidepressants in a changing ocean: Venlafaxine uptake and elimination in juve...
Luísa Maulvault, Ana; Santos, Lúcia H.M.L.M.; Camacho, Carolina; Anacleto, Patrícia; Barbosa, Vera; Alves, Ricardo; Pousão Ferreira, PedroThe presence of antidepressants, such as venlafaxine (VFX), in marine ecosystems is increasing, thus, potentially posing ecological and human health risks. The inherent mechanisms of VFX uptake and elimination still require further understanding, particularly accounting for the impact of climate change-related stressors, such as warming and acidification. Hence, the present work aimed to investigate, for the fi...
Differential behavioural responses to venlafaxine exposure route, warming and a...
Luísa Maulvault, Ana; Santos, Lúcia H.M.L.M.; Paula, José Ricardo; Camacho, Carolina; Pissarra, Vasco; Fogaça, Fabiola; Barbosa, Vera; Alves, RicardoAntidepressants, such as venlafaxine (VFX), which are considered emerging environmental pollutants, are increasingly more present in the marine environment, and recent evidence suggest that they might have adverse effects on fish behaviour. Furthermore, altered environmental conditions associated to climate change (e.g. warming and acidification) can also have a determinant role on fish behaviour, fitness and s...
Assessing the effects of seawater temperature and pH on the bioaccumulation of ...
Luísa Maulvault, Ana; Camacho, Carolina; Barbosa, Vera; Alves, Ricardo; Anacleto, Patrícia; Fogaça, Fabiola; Kwadijk, Christiaan; Kotterman, MichielEmerging chemical contaminants [e.g. toxic metals speciation, flame retardants (FRs) and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), among others], that have not been historically recognized as pollutants nor their toxicological hazards, are increasingly more present in the marine environment. Furthermore, the effects of environmental conditions (e.g. temperature and pH) on bioaccumulation and elimination mechanisms of th...
Comparative measurement and quantitative risk assessment of alcohol consumption...
Ryu, Yeonsuk; Barceló, Damià; Barrone, Leon P.; Bijlsma, Lubertus; Castiglioni, Sara; De Voogt, Pim; Emke, Erik; Hernández, Félix; Lai, Foon YinQuantitative measurement of drug consumption biomarkers in wastewater can provide objective information on community drug use patterns and trends. This study presents the measurement of alcohol consumption in 20 cities across 11 countries through the use of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), and reports the application of these data for the risk assessment of alcohol on a population scale using the margin of ...
Continuous fungal treatment of non-sterile veterinary hospital effluent: pharma...
Badia-Fabregat, Marina; Lucas, Daniel; Pereira, M. A.; Alves, M. M.; Pennanen, Taina; Fritze, Hannu; Rodríguez-Mozaz, Sara; Barceló, DamiàSource point treatment of effluents with a high load of pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs), such as hospital wastewater, is a matter of discussion among the scientific community. Fungal treatments have been reported to be successful in degrading this type of pollutants and, therefore, the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor was applied for the removal of PhACs from veterinary hospital wastewater. Sixty-si...
