Journal ArticleDOI
Potential transfer of organic pollutants from littoral plastics debris to the marine environment.
Víctor M. León,I. García,Emilia González,Raquel Samper,V. Fernández-González,Soledad Muniategui-Lorenzo +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to show the relevance of the transport of organic contaminants on plastic debris from littoral areas to the marine environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAHs, pesticides, personal care products and plastic additives in plastic debris from Spanish Mediterranean beaches.
Víctor M. León,Inés García-Agüera,Vicenç Moltó,V. Fernández-González,Laura Llorca-Pérez,José Manuel Andrade,S. Muniategui-Lorenzo,Juan Antonio Campillo +7 more
TL;DR: The most abundant contaminants were plastic additives and PCPs, underlining the relevance of the leaching of plastic components, and urban and tourism activities as typical pollution sources in the coastal areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Towards the European Union water directive 2006/0129 EC.
V. Fernández-González,E. Concha-Graña,Soledad Muniategui-Lorenzo,Purificación López-Mahía,Darío Prada-Rodríguez +4 more
TL;DR: The novelty of this work consisted in the wide range of analyzed PAHs, the very low detection limits that were reached, the coupling of SPME-GC-MS-MS, and the study of the matrix effect on water samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of weathering on the chemical identification of microplastics from usual packaging polymers in the marine environment
V. Fernández-González,Javier Andrade-Garda,Purificación López-Mahía,Soledad Muniategui-Lorenzo +3 more
TL;DR: Five of the most common polymers employed worldwide for packaging were weathered in a pilot-scale system simulating dry and marine conditions for more than 10 weeks, and showed that an individual study of each polymer is necessary since degradation pathways and products depend on the polymer type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressurized hot water extraction coupled to solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments.
V. Fernández-González,E. Concha-Graña,Soledad Muniategui-Lorenzo,Purificación López-Mahía,Darío Prada-Rodríguez +4 more
TL;DR: The developed method seems to be suitable for the analysis of PAHs at ultratrace levels in environmental matrices as sediment samples, and is in very good agreement with the certificate materials.
