Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations and profiles in marine mammals from the North Atlantic Ocean

David Megson et al.

Summary: PCBs play a crucial role in understanding the bioaccumulation and biomagnification of POPs in marine mammals. This study found that the concentrations of PCBs in most samples exceeded toxic thresholds for marine mammals, indicating the health risk they face from PCB exposure. A novel PCB signature was identified in a sei whale, highlighting the importance of considering atmospheric deposition as a significant source of exposure.

Ecological and spatial variations of legacy and emerging contaminants in white-tailed sea eagles from Germany: Implications for prioritisation and future risk management

Alexander Badry et al.

Summary: The study examined the presence of over 2400 contaminants in white-tailed sea eagles from northern Germany, mostly medicinal products with low PBT scores. Chemicals like 4,4'-DDE and PCBs from the Stockholm Convention were present in all samples below toxicity thresholds. The complex chemical exposures in apex predators depend not only on intrinsic properties but also on ecological and landscape factors.

Anthropogenic Drivers of Variation in Concentrations of Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Otters (Lutra lutra) from England and Wales

Emily O'Rourke et al.

Summary: This article reports the widespread pollution of PFASs in Eurasian otters in England and Wales and their association with anthropogenic sources. Various PFAS compounds were detected in otters, with perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) being the major component. The study also found that PFAS concentrations in otters were negatively associated with the distance from a factory, and positively associated with load entering wastewater treatment works and arable land.

A novel survey of raptor collections in Europe and their potential to provide samples for pan-European contaminant monitoring

Gloria Ramello et al.

Summary: This study surveyed the current collections of frozen raptor carcasses and tissue samples in natural history museums, environmental specimen banks, and other research collections across Europe to assess their potential to support pan-European raptor biomonitoring. The findings show that over 5000 raptor carcasses are received annually in Europe, with natural history museums being key recipients, and collections likely hold over 10,000 raptor carcasses in their freezers, offering a substantial resource for contaminant monitoring.

Sample preparation techniques for suspect and non-target screening of emerging contaminants

Parvaneh Hajeb et al.

Summary: Recent advances in mass spectrometers have enabled the detection of a wide range of organic compounds in a single procedure, leading to increased attention on suspect and non-target screening techniques. Sample preparation is crucial, but there is a lack of generic protocols in this rapidly growing analytical field.

TrendProbe: Time profile analysis of emerging contaminants by LC-HRMS non-target screening and deep learning convolutional neural network

Varvara Nikolopoulou et al.

Summary: This study developed a validated computational framework based on deep learning for classifying the trends of chemicals in consecutive sampling days. It successfully identified several surfactants, including compounds that have never been reported before. These newly identified surfactants were tentatively determined to have potential risks to the aquatic environment.

Application of a novel prioritisation strategy using non-target screening for evaluation of temporal trends (1969-2017) of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in archived lynx muscle tissue samples

Wiebke Durig et al.

Summary: This study successfully identified potential contaminants of emerging concern in muscle tissue samples of Eurasian lynx using non-target screening and time-trend analysis. Through statistical analysis, 104 features with statistically significant increasing trends and 61 features with statistically significant decreasing trends were identified.

A Multi-Label Classifier for Predicting the Most Appropriate Instrumental Method for the Analysis of Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Nikiforos Alygizakis et al.

Summary: Liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and gas chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS) have revolutionized analytical chemistry. This study presents an optimized multi-label classifier for predicting the most appropriate instrumental method for chemical analysis in digital specimens.

Using environmental monitoring data from apex predators for chemicals management: towards better use of monitoring data from apex predators in support of prioritisation and risk assessment of chemicals in Europe

Gabriele Treu et al.

Summary: There is a wealth of apex predator samples available in European research collections that can be used for chemical monitoring and regulation. However, current assessment practices do not effectively utilize these data due to a lack of guidance and fragmented information. The European LIFE APEX project successfully used existing sample collections and advanced screening methods to detect over 4,560 pollutants. They recommend establishing infrastructures that include apex predators as an early warning system and integrating their chemical data into future assessments and management across regulations.

Using environmental monitoring data from apex predators for chemicals management: towards harmonised sampling and processing of archived wildlife samples to increase the regulatory uptake of monitoring data in chemicals management

Alexander Badry et al.

Summary: Monitoring data from apex predators played a crucial role in the development of early chemicals legislations and environmental protection. Analyzing samples from apex predators helps identify compounds with bioaccumulative properties. With the recovery of apex predator populations, these samples are now available for research and stored in accessible online databases, facilitating the connection between science and policy.

Identification of organic contaminants in vinasse and in soil and groundwater from fertigated sugarcane crop areas using target and suspect screening strategies

Josiel Jose da Silva et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the sustainability of vinasse reuse as a fertilizer in sugarcane crops by screening organic contaminants in vinasse, soil, and groundwater. While antibiotics were not detected, other compounds were tentatively identified. The results suggest that pollutants in soil and groundwater may come from sources other than vinasse reuse.

Linking landscape composition and biological factors with exposure levels of rodenticides and agrochemicals in avian apex predators from Germany

Alexander Badry et al.

Summary: The intensification of agricultural practices in Europe has led to a significant decline in farmland bird populations, with chemical pollution posing a threat to wildlife. Raptors are particularly at risk from exposure to pollutants like anticoagulant rodenticides, which can impact their survival rates. Urban raptors are most vulnerable to exposure, and the risks may extend beyond terrestrial food webs.

Risk from pesticide mixtures - The gap between risk assessment and reality

Oliver Weisner et al.

Summary: The study found that pesticide mixtures in agricultural crops pose a higher risk to aquatic indicators than predicted, with most regulatory threshold exceedances caused by single pesticides. Pesticide exposure occurred in repeated pulses driven by one to few alternating pesticides, with time intervals shorter than those considered for ecological recovery in environmental risk assessment.

Development and Application of Liquid Chromatographic Retention Time Indices in HRMS-Based Suspect and Nontarget Screening

Reza Aalizadeh et al.

Summary: This study proposed a unified retention time index (RTI) approach for liquid chromatography, aiming to achieve comparable retention times among different laboratories. By calibrating the elution pattern with two sets of calibration compounds, the RTI range was set between 1 and 1000, which was considered the most appropriate RTI system after rigorous evaluation.

A protocol for wide-scope non-target analysis of contaminants in small amounts of biota using bead beating tissuelyser extraction and LC-HRMS

R. Gil-Solsona et al.

Summary: This work presents a method for wide-scope target and non-target analysis of xenobiotics in biota samples, utilizing bead beating tissuelyser extraction, solid phase extraction (SPE) clean-up, and liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) for detection. The approach minimizes losses during extraction and reduces possible interferences through an additional SPE clean-up step. This method is effective for a wide range of substances with different physicochemical properties.
