Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is the most widely used method for the extraction, changing of
solvents, clean-up, concentration and fractionation of organic compounds from several …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds widespread in the environment,
many of them showing carcinogenic effects. These compounds can reach the food chain by …

Due to their hydrophobicity and relatively large surface area, microplastics (MPs) can act as
carriers of hydrophobic pollutants in the ocean and may facilitate their transfer to organisms …

Due to food complexity and the low amount at which contaminants are usually present in
food, their analytical determination can be particularly challenging. Conventional sample …

QuEChERS method was evaluated for extraction of 16 PAHs from fish samples. For a
selective measurement of the compounds, extracts were analysed by LC with fluorescence …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a family of toxicants that are ubiquitous in the
environment. These contaminants generate considerable interest, because some of them …

In order to assess the biological effects of the Prestige oil spill (POS), mussels, Mytilus
galloprovincialis, were collected in 22 localities along the North coast of the Iberian …

Native and caged mussels were used in combination for the monitoring of pollution
biological effects through an integrative biomarker approach. Mussels (Mytilus …

Microplastics (MPs) can adsorb persistent organic pollutants such as oil hydrocarbons and
may facilitate their transfer to organisms (Trojan horse effect). The aim of this study was to …

This handbook provides a systematic description of the principles, procedures, and
technology of the modern analytical techniques used in the detection, extraction, clean up …
