Journal ArticleDOI
Pathways and metabolites of microbial degradation of selected acidic pharmaceutical and their occurrence in municipal wastewater treated by a membrane bioreactor
TL;DR: It is suggested that naproxen and ibuprofen can be fully mineralized whereas more stable metabolites occur in microbial ketoprofen and bezafibrate transformation, that may deserve further attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polar Pollutants Entry into the Water Cycle by Municipal Wastewater: A European Perspective
Thorsten Reemtsma,Stefan Weiss,Jutta Mueller,Mira Petrovic,Susana Gonzalez,Damia Barcelo,Francesc Ventura,Thomas P. Knepper +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that this index provides a measure for the potential of a polar compound to spread along a partially closed water cycle after discharge with municipal wastewater and to occur in raw waters used for drinking water production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of three calibration methods to compensate matrix effects in environmental analysis with LC-ESI-MS.
Markus Stüber,Thorsten Reemtsma +1 more
TL;DR: This study compares the potential of three calibration approaches to compensate matrix effects that occurred when seven analytes were quantified in time series samples of waters with different matrices and found none of the three approaches were suitable for a sample series of highly loaded, untreated wastewater with highly variable matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discharge of three benzotriazole corrosion inhibitors with municipal wastewater and improvements by membrane bioreactor treatment and ozonation.
TL;DR: Treatment of municipal wastewater by a lab-scale membrane bioreactor instead of CAS improved the removal of BTri and 5-TTri but could not avoid their discharge, and the environmental half-life appears to increase from 5- TTri over BTri to 4-T triazoles, which is similar to that of conventional activated sludge treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and strategies for trace-level analysis of polar organic pollutants.
TL;DR: Future efforts with respect to water analysis may be directed at fine-tuning the methodical arsenal for increased sensitivity and selectivity and to extend LC-MS application to transformation products.
