Investigative monitoring of pesticide and nitrogen pollution sources in a complex multi-stressed catchment: the Lower Llobregat River basin case study (Barcelona, Spain)
Cristina Postigo, Antoni Ginebreda, Maria Vittoria Barbieri +12
The management of the anthropogenic water cycle must ensure the preservation of the quality and quantity of water resources and their careful allocation to the different uses. Prot…
Remediation of bentazone contaminated water by Trametes versicolor: characterization, identification of transformation products, and implementation in a trickle-bed reactor under non-sterile conditions
Manuel Garcia-Vara, Kaidi Hu, Cristina Postigo +4
Bentazone, an herbicide widely applied in rice and cereal crops, is widespread in the aquatic environment. This study evaluated the capacity of Trametes versicolor to remove bentaz…
Improved fully automated method for the determination of medium to highly polar pesticides in surface and groundwater and application in two distinct agriculture-impacted areas
Maria Vittoria Barbieri, Luis Simon Monllor-Alcaraz, Cristina Postigo +1
Water is an essential resource for all living organisms. The continuous and increasing use of pesticides in agricultural and urban activities results in the pollution of water reso…
Fungal bioremediation of diuron-contaminated waters: evaluation of its degradation and the effect of amendable factors on its removal in a trickle-bed reactor under non-sterile conditions
Kaidi Hu, Josefina Toran, Ester Lopez-Garcia +6
The occurrence of the extensively used herbicide diuron in the environment poses a severe threat to the ecosystem and human health. Four different ligninolytic fungi were studied a…
Reliable LC-MS/MS-based method for trace level determination of 50 medium to highly polar pesticide residues in sediments and ecological risk assessment
Maria Vittoria Barbieri, Cristina Postigo, Simon Monllor-Alcaraz +2
The occurrence of polar pesticides in sediments has not been extensively investigated because of their relatively poor hydrophobicity and apparently less persistence in the environ…
Microalgae-based bioremediation of water contaminated by pesticides in peri-urban agricultural areas
M. Jesus Garcia-Galan, Luis Simon Monllor-Alcaraz, Cristina Postigo +4
The present study evaluated the capacity of a semi-closed, tubular horizontal photobioreactor (PBR) to remove pesticides from agricultural run-off. The study was carried out in Jul…
