Micropollutants enter surface waters through various pathways, of which wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a major source. The large diversity of micropollutants and their many modes of toxic action pose a challenge for assessing environmental risks. ...
The present thesis aimed at characterizing the extent of the pesticide contamination and resulting impacts on the environment and the human health in market garden-ing areas in Burkina Faso. Analytical procedures were developed and validated for multi-clas ...
Vegetables and water samples have been collected around the lake of Loumbila in Burkina Faso. Pesticides resi- dues in food commodities were analyzed using a modified QuEChERS extraction method prior analysis on GC-MS and UPLC-MS/MS of 31 pesticides. Maxim ...
Exceedance of MRLs might induce a risk for the consumers and limits the opportunities of exportation for a sector identified by the authorities as having a great potential for the fight against poverty. In the same way, levels of some water samples exceed ...
At the centre of the research is the preservation of the countryside which is highlighted and studied through an architectural approach which focuses on cabins in the high mountains. The projects must reflect upon territorial, global and sustainable aspect ...
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) challenge markets, regulators and practitioners to achieve multiple objectives on water, food and energy. This calls for responses that are coordinated and scaled appropriately. Learning from water-energy-food nexus ...
This study proposes a comprehensive assessment of water resources contamination by pesticides in a gardening area. Multiresidue extraction procedure was developed to quantify 48 pesticides identified during field surveys. Drinking water samples were collec ...
In this Progress Report some recent trends and future perspectives towards the use of nanomaterials for smart food packaging and quality control of food are given. The examples and discussion are meant to illustrate the potential use of nanotechnology for ...
There is a need for a risk analysis technique specific for academic research laboratories. Since accurate accident data, normally required for quantitative risk analysis, are not available for this environment, expert judgements are often used to describe ...
Presentation on the levels of perfluorinated compounds in aquatic environment in Switzerland. Different matrices are studied: sediments, fish, food, wastewater. ...
