Journal ArticleDOI
A year-long study of the spatial occurrence and relative distribution of pharmaceutical residues in sewage effluent, receiving marine waters and marine bivalves
TL;DR: Analytical methods were optimised and validated for the quantification of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluent, receiving marine waters and marine mussels (Mytilus spp.) and an in situ study in which caged Mytilus Spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the pharmaceutical exposome in aquatic fauna
TL;DR: The current analytical approaches and available occurrence and accumulation data in biota are compiled to review the current state of research in the field and provide evidence in support of the ‘Matthew Effect’ and raises critical questions about the use of targeted analyte lists for biomonitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illicit and pharmaceutical drug consumption estimated via wastewater analysis. Part A: Chemical analysis and drug use estimates
TL;DR: Community-wide estimation of drug and pharmaceuticals consumption in England using wastewater analysis and a large number of compounds, among groups of compounds studied were: stimulants, hallucinogens and their metabolites, opioids, morphine derivatives, benzodiazepines, antidepressants and others.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methylation-based forensic age prediction using artificial neural networks and next generation sequencing
Athina Vidaki,David Ballard,Anastasia Aliferi,Thomas H. Miller,Leon Barron,Denise Syndercombe Court +5 more
TL;DR: A new NGS-based method was combined with machine learning for age prediction and the model predicted age successfully for twins and ‘diseased’ individuals.
