Aging microplastics enhances the adsorption of pharmaceuticals in freshwater. (2023)
Journal Article
MOURA, D.S., PESTANA, C.J., MOFFAT, C.F., GKOULEMANI, N., HUI, J., IRVINE, J.T.S. and LAWTON, L.A. 2024. Aging microplastics enhances the adsorption of pharmaceuticals in freshwater. Science of the total environment [online], 912, article number 169467. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169467

Plastic pollution is an increasing environmental concern. Pollutants such as microplastics (< 5 mm) and pharmaceuticals often co-exist in the aquatic environment. The current study aimed to elucidate the interaction of pharmaceuticals with microplast... Read More about Aging microplastics enhances the adsorption of pharmaceuticals in freshwater..

Chiral pharmaceutical drug adsorption to natural and synthetic particulates in water and their desorption in simulated gastric fluid. (2023)
Journal Article
PETRIE, B., MOURA, D.S., LAWTON, L.A. and SANGANYADO, E. 2023. Chiral pharmaceutical drug adsorption to natural and synthetic particulates in water and their desorption in simulated gastric fluid. Journal of hazardous materials advances [online], 9, article 100241. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hazadv.2023.100241

Natural and synthetic particulates in aquatic environments can act as a vector for chiral pharmaceutical drugs. Understanding enantiomer enrichment in the particulate phase of water matrices is essential considering the enantiospecific effects that c...
