This study investigated 11 psychoactive contaminants in wastewater influents at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Slovakia between 2015 and 2018, based on 44 samples collected under regular conditions and an additional five samples collected during two music festivals in 2018. In addition, 17 progestagens were analyzed only in 2018 during festival days and their corresponding background days. Seasonal variation in norm...

Global climate changes cause water scarcity in many regions, and the sustainable use of recycled water appears crucial, especially in agriculture. However, potentially hazardous compounds such as pharmaceuticals can enter the food chain and pose severe risks. This paper aims to study the presence of selected pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) and their metabolites in crops grown in aeroponic conditions and evaluate the po...

A conventional evaluation methodology for drinking water pollution focuses on analysing hundreds of compounds, usually by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. High-resolution mass spectrometry allows comprehensive evaluation of all detected signals (compounds) based on their elemental composition, intensity, and numbers. We combined target analysis of 192 emerging micropollutants with nontarget (NT) full-scan/MS/MS...
