Combination of SPE and pH adjustment for the simultaneous spectrophotometric de...
Ferreira, Francisca; Ribas, Tânia; Mesquita, Raquel; Rangel, AntónioCopper, zinc, and manganese are commonly found in both natural and treated water sources. Although these metals are essential micronutrients, their accumulation, even at low concentrations, can lead to serious health issues. Therefore, continuous and accurate monitoring of these elements in environmental and drinking water is crucial to ensure public safety. Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a widely used sample ...
Innovative water sampling strategy for the simultaneous sampling and sample pre...
Ribas, Tânia; Rodrigues, Francisco; Mesquita, Raquel; Rangel, AntónioThe content of certain metal ions in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as an environmental concern, posing significant risks to both aquatic life and human health. Some metal ions, including cadmium, are usually present at a trace level in environmental waters. Nevertheless, even at low exposure levels, cadmium can lead to serious health problems. Its increasing presence in natural waters is largely attributed to ...
Packed ionic resins to perform solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase spe...
Mesquita, Raquel; Pereira, Mafalda; Melo, Maria; Ribas, Tânia; Rangel, AntónioThe adverse effects in the environment of metal ions are well documented, notably for those displaying toxic effects for living organisms according to their concentration. Novel sampling and real-time monitoring methods will have a significant impact on understanding the spatial-temporal distribution of the metal ions and will contribute to act on-time to detect and mitigate sources of contamination of aquatic ...
