■ BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging
environmental contaminants over the period of 2011− 2013. Analytical Chemistry's policy is …

Anatoxin-a (ATX-a) is a potent neurotoxin produced by several species of cyanobacteria
whose exposure can have direct consequences, including neurological disorders and …

Algae dietary supplements are marketed worldwide as natural health products. Although
their proprieties have been claimed as beneficial to improve overall health, there have been …

Freshwater blooms of cyanobacteria (blue–green algae) in source waters are generally
composed of several different strains with the capability to produce a variety of toxins. The …

In this paper, an LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous identification and quantification of
cyanotoxins with hydrophilic and lipophilic properties in edible bivalves is presented. The …

We developed a protocol to quantify 12 emerging contaminants (ECs)(pharmaceuticals and
hormones) and pesticides extracted from suspended particulate matter (SPM) of river water …

Anatoxins (ATXs) are a potent class of cyanobacterial neurotoxins for which only a handful
of structural analogues have been well characterized. Here, we report the development of …

Algal blooms that contaminate freshwater resources with cyanotoxins constitute, nowadays,
a global concern. To deal with this problem, a variety of analytical methods, including …

In the last decade the quantitation of immunosuppressive drugs has seen vast
improvements in analytical methods, optimizing time, accuracy of analysis and cost. Laser …

A new approach for the analysis of the cyanobacterial microcystins (MCs) in environmental
water matrices has been developed. It offers a cost efficient alternative method for the fast …
