Journal Article
PETRIE, B., YOUDAN, J., BARDEN, R. and KASPRZYK-HORDERN, B. 2016. Multi-residue analysis of 90 emerging contaminants in liquid and solid environmental matrices by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Journal of chromatography A [online], 1431, pages 64-78. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2015.12.036

Reported here in is new analytical methodology for the determination of 90 emerging contaminants (ECs)in liquid environmental matrices (crude wastewater, final effluent and river water). The application of a novel buffer, ammonium fluoride improved s...

Journal Article
PETRIE, B., BARDEN, R., and KASPRZYK-HORDERN, B. 2015. A review on emerging contaminants in wastewaters and the environment: current knowledge, understudied areas and recommendations for future monitoring. Water research [online], 72, pages 3-27. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2014.08.053

This review identifies understudied areas of emerging contaminant (EC) research in wastewaters and the environment, and recommends direction for future monitoring. Non-regulated trace organic ECs including pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs and personal...

Assessing potential modifications to the activated sludge process to improve simultaneous removal of a diverse range of micropollutants. (2014)
Journal Article
PETRIE, B., MCADAM, E.J., LESTER, J.N. and CARTMELL, E. 2014. Assessing potential modifications to the activated sludge process to improve simultaneous removal of a diverse range of micropollutants. Water research [online], 62, pages 180-192. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2014.05.036

It is proposed that wastewater treatment facilities meet legislated discharge limits for a range of micropollutants. However, the heterogeneity of these micropollutants in wastewaters make removal difficult to predict since their chemistry is so dive...
