Rapid uptake and slow depuration: health risks following cyanotoxin accumulation in mussels? (2020)
Journal Article
CAMACHO-MUÑOZ, D., WAACK, J., TURNER, A.D., LEWIS, A.M., LAWTON, L.A. and EDWARDS, C. 2021. Rapid uptake and slow depuration: health risks following cyanotoxin accumulation in mussels? Environmental pollution [online], 271, article ID 116400. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.116400

Freshwater cyanobacteria produce highly toxic secondary metabolites, which can be transported downstream by rivers and waterways into the sea. Estuarine and coastal aquaculture sites exposed to toxic cyanobacteria raise concerns that shellfish may ac...

Degradation of microcystin-LR and cylindrospermopsin by continuous flow UV-A photocatalysis over immobilised TiO2. (2020)
Journal Article
CAMACHO-MUÑOZ, D., FERVERS, A.-S., PESTANA, C.J., EDWARDS, C. and LAWTON, L.A. 2020. Degradation of microcystin-LR and cylindrospermopsin by continuous flow UV-A photocatalysis over immobilised TiO2. Journal of environmental management [online], 276, article ID 111368. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.111368

The increasing presence of freshwater toxins have brought new challenges to preserve water quality due to their potential impact on the environment and human health. Two commonly occurring cyanotoxins, microcystin-LR and cylindrospermopsin, with diff...

Micropollutant fluxes in urban environment: a catchment perspective. (2020)
Journal Article
PROCTOR, K., PETRIE, B., LOPARDO, L., MUÑOZ, D.C., RICE, J., BARDEN, R., ARNOT, T. and KASPRZYK-HORDERN, B. 2021. Micropollutant fluxes in urban environment: a catchment perspective. Journal of hazardous materials [online], 401, article ID 123745. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123745

This study provided a holistic understanding of the sources, fate and behaviour of 142 compounds of emerging concern (CECs) throughout a river catchment impacted by 5 major urban areas. Of the incoming 169.3 kg d−1 of CECs entering the WwTWs, 167.9 k... Read More about Micropollutant fluxes in urban environment: a catchment perspective..

Analysis, fate and toxicity of chiral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in wastewaters and the environment: a review. (2020)
Journal Article
PETRIE, B. and CAMACHO-MUÑOZ, D. 2021. Analysis, fate and toxicity of chiral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in wastewaters and the environment: a review. Environmental chemistry letters [online], 19(1), pages 43-75. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10311-020-01065-y

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are found in the aquatic environment globally. Such drugs including naproxen, ibuprofen and ketoprofen are chiral molecules. Enantiomers of those drugs have identical physicochemical properties but can b...
