TL;DR: The obtained results show the presence of 125 substances (80% of the target compounds) in European wastewater effluents, in concentrations ranging from low nanograms to milligrams per liter, which allow for an estimation to be made of a European median level for the chemicals investigated in WWTP effluent waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
EU-wide survey of polar organic persistent pollutants in European river waters
Robert Loos,Bernd Manfred Gawlik,Giovanni Locoro,Erika Rimaviciute,Serafino Contini,Giovanni Bidoglio +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first EU-wide reconnaissance of the occurrence of polar organic persistent pollutants in European river waters, and proposes "indicative warning levels" in surface waters, which are close to the 90th percentile of all water samples analysed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pan-European survey on the occurrence of selected polar organic persistent pollutants in ground water
Robert Loos,Giovanni Locoro,Sara Comero,Serafino Contini,David Schwesig,Friedrich Werres,Peter Balsaa,Oliver Gans,Stefan C. Weiss,Ludek Blaha,Monica Bolchi,Bernd Manfred Gawlik +11 more
TL;DR: The chemicals which were detected most frequently above the European ground water quality standard for pesticides of 0.1 microg/L were Chloridazon-desphenyl (26 samples), NPE(1)C (20), Bisphenol A (12), Benzotriazole (8), N,N'-Dimethylsulfamid (DMS) (8) and Nonylphenol (6).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference Scales for the Characterization of Cationic Electrophiles and Neutral Nucleophiles
Herbert Mayr,Thorsten Bug,Matthias F. Gotta,Nicole Hering,Bernhard Irrgang,Brigitte Janker,Bernhard Kempf,Robert Loos,Armin R. Ofial,Grigoriy Ya. Remennikov,Holger Schimmel +10 more
TL;DR: Mayr et al. as discussed by the authors used correlation analysis to determine the electrophilicity parameters E and N and s as defined by the equation log k(20 °C) = s(N + E).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polar herbicides, pharmaceutical products, perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and nonylphenol and its carboxylates and ethoxylates in surface and tap waters around Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy
TL;DR: Levels of polar herbicides, pharmaceuticals, steroid estrogens and nonylphenol in drinking water produced from Lake Maggiore were almost identical with those found in the lake itself, revealing the poor performance of sand filtration and chlorination applied by the local waterworks.
