There is growing interest in road pollution that enters surface waters. Additive chemicals used in the manufacture of plastics, including tyre rubber, are mobile pollutants that pose a threat to aquatic life. Therefore, an ultra-high performance liqu...

Septic tanks as a pathway for emerging contaminants to the aquatic environment: need for alternative rural wastewater treatment? (2024)
Journal Article
WILSCHNACK, M., CARTMELL, E., YATES, K. and PETRIE, B. 2024. Septic tanks as a pathway for emerging contaminants to the aquatic environment: need for alternative rural wastewater treatment? Environmental pollution [online], 362, article number 124988. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124988

Septic tanks (STs) as a decentralised approach to community wastewater treatment were investigated as a pathway for emerging contaminants (ECs) entering the aquatic environment. A broad range of ECs were examined in five community STs (population equ...

Removal of organic compounds from aquatic environments by advanced oxidation processes. (2024)
Thesis
MENEZES, I. 2024. Removal of organic compounds from aquatic environments by advanced oxidation processes. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2795681

Agricultural practices and eutrophication contribute to cyanobacteria proliferation, cyanotoxin contamination and pesticide pollution in aquatic environments. Conventional treatments can be ineffective for the removal of high cell densities of cyanob...

Targeted multi-analyte UHPLC-MS/MS methodology for emerging contaminants in septic tank wastewater, sludge and receiving surface water. (2024)
Journal Article
WILSCHNACK, M., HOMER, B., CARTMELL, E., YATES, K. and PETRIE, B. 2024. Targeted multi-analyte UHPLC-MS/MS methodology for emerging contaminants in septic tank wastewater, sludge and receiving surface water. Analytical methods [online], 16(5), pages 709-720. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1039/D3AY01201H

Septic tanks treat wastewater of individual houses and small communities (up to 2000 people in Scotland) in rural and semi-urban areas and are understudied sources of surface water contamination. A multi-analyte methodology with solid phase extractio...
