Enhancing the removal of contaminants of emerging concern from wastewater effluents using recharge-dependent soil aquifer treatment with reactive barriers Gerard Quintana, Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Cristina Valhondo, Lurdes Martínez-Landa, Pablo Gago-Ferrero, Ruben Gil-Solsona, Juan Cruz Carrizo, Jesús Carrera, M. Silvia Diaz-Cruz Journal of Environmental Management, 2026 Soil-Aquifer Treatment (SAT) systems are a sustainable option for improving wastewater quality and addressing freshwater scarcity. This study assessed how recharge operation (continuous vs. pulsed) and reactive barriers of natural organic materials influence contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) removal from treated wastewater effluents. Our results demonstrate that continuous recharge enhances SAT system performance, achieving CECs removal efficiencies up to 58% in woodchip barriers and 35% in compost barriers, compared to 20-25 % under pulsed recharge. Reactive barriers promoted microbial activity by releasing labile DOC, generating redox gradients, and supporting both adsorption and biodegradation processes. Pulsed recharge led to temporary CECs release although further removal occurred along the aquifer. Low molecular weight, polar, aromatic and readily biodegradable CECs were efficiently removed, while nonpolar and chemically stable compounds showed lower removal or accumulation. Physicochemical factors such as pH (6.8-7.8), oxygen availability, and ionic composition strongly influenced treatment outcomes. The use of locally available, low-cost materials such as woodchips and vegetable compost as reactive barriers, combined with passive SAT operation, supports the system's cost-effectiveness.
Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health Maria Hartiala, Varpu Elenius, Alicia Aguado Pesquera, Silas Androulakis, Isabella Annesi‐Maesano, Artur Badyda, Sicco Brandsma, Ioanna Chatziprodromidou, Goran Gajski, Judith Garcia‐Aymerich, Chiara Giorio, Timo Hugg, Jouni J.

Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility. The availability of data on IAQ is limited, as are standardized approaches for evaluating its health impact. This expert review aims to describe the most important indoor air determinants affecting health, and present the IDEAL cluster, which comprises seven EU‐funded scientific projects on the topic of IAQ and human health. Across the IDEAL projects, knowledge is generated on exposure to a wide range of indoor air pollutants, including well‐known hazards and more explorative chemical and microbiological determinants. The projects will also contribute to the implementation of low‐cost and/or real‐time sensors on IAQ, as well as advanced chemical and microbiological analyses, and evaluate various interventions to improve IAQ. Several of them focus on particularly vulnerable groups. Raising public awareness and implementing measures to reduce pollutant levels are essential for safeguarding health, particularly in urban areas with elevated pollution levels.
Silicone-Foam Passive Air Samplers for Combined Target and Nontarget Chemical Profiling and Toxicity Assessment of Airborne Exposomes Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Hongyu Xie, Bénilde Bonnefille, Foteini Raptopoulou, Edouard Pesquet, May Britt Rian, Daniel Schlesinger, Michael Norman, Young June Jeon, Boram Kim, Seung-Bok Lee, Ji Eun Lee, Jean Froment, Stefano Papazian, Jonathan W. Martin Environmental Science and Technology, 2026 Polluted air is a major global health risk factor, yet the chemical composition and toxicity of airborne gases and particles remain underexplored due to their complexity and difficulties in sampling. We recently introduced how polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) foam─or silicone foam─can be synthesized for passive air sampling, enabling simple and cost-effective nontarget chemical profiling of indoor air. Here, we demonstrate expanded applications, indoors and outdoors, with commercial PDMS-foam, including for: (i) wide-scope target analysis of >220 priority substances by quantitative liquid- and gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry, (ii) microscopic characterization and nontarget profiling of accumulated fine particles, and (iii) effect-guided discovery of harmful substances, combining toxicological data with nontarget analysis in silico. Median method quantification limits were 0.12 ng/mL, 90% of target analytes had absolute recoveries between 70 and 130%, and hazardous substances were discovered, including ethylene glycols, insecticides, and UV filters. Microscopy revealed the accumulation of abundant fine particles, and the automated characterization of the fluorescent fraction revealed that most were <4 μm. Extracts from outdoor samples reduced human lung cell viability, and multivariate modeling flagged families of potentially toxic substances in a virtual effect-directed analysis. PDMS-foam disks require field calibration to determine their linear sampling rate(s), but current results and applications establish PDMS-foam as a multimodal passive sampler, enabling integrated chemical quantitation, toxicological analysis, and molecular discovery in air.
Occurrence and risks of pharmaceuticals in Mahdia’s coastline (Tunisia): distribution, antibiotic resistance, and ecotoxicological impact Ferdaws Fenni, Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Hedi Ben Mansour, Maria Silvia Diaz-Cruz Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2025 Pharmaceutical active compounds (PHACs) pose a significant risk to aquatic ecosystems due to their persistence and potential toxic effects. Despite their documented presence in various coastal environments, their occurrence along the Mahdia coastline remains largely unexplored. Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS), we analyzed seawater and sediment samples collected over six consecutive months from Mahdia’s marine environment. Results revealed that antibiotics were the most prevalent PHACs, with ofloxacin reaching 401 ng/L in seawater. Other consistently detected compounds included flumequine, nalidixic acid, oxytetracycline, and N4-acetylsulfamerazine, with maximum concentrations of 16 ng/L, 17.1 ng/L, 12.1 ng/L, and 59.2 ng/L, respectively. Additionally, carbamazepine was detected at 5.2 ng/L, while caffeine concentrations ranged from 12.6 ng/L to 638 ng/L in seawater and up to 6.87 ng/g in sediment. The study also assessed antibiotic resistance risks, expressed as resistance risk quotients (RRQs) and indicating that ofloxacin and flumequine pose a medium-risk threat to bacterial communities. Ecotoxicological evaluations through calculation of ecotoxicological risk quotient (ERQs) and hazard indexes (HI) classified ofloxacin as a low-to-moderate risk for fish populations. These findings provide the first comprehensive mapping of PHAC contamination and potential risks along the Mahdia coast, emphasizing the urgent need for improved wastewater treatment and monitoring programs to mitigate environmental risks.

Early-life chemical exposome: Comprehensive strategies for wide-scope screening of organic compounds Camilla Guerrini, Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Ruben Gil-Solsona, Joaquín Escribano, Maria Vinaixa, Pablo Gago-Ferrero, Noelia Ramírez Trac Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 2024 Exposure to organic compounds during early-life stages can disrupt human development and increase susceptibility to adverse health outcomes later in life. Despite evidence of these impacts, research has primarily focused on targeted analyses, missing the complex nature of early-life exposures. Comprehensive approaches are needed to better characterize these complex mixtures. Recent advances in high-resolution mass spectrometry and computational science have enabled the comprehensive analysis of numerous chemicals through wide-scope screening approaches, yet their application in early-life exposome studies is still limited. This review critically examines studies from the past decade using wide-scope screening to investigate the early-life chemical exposome, emphasizing organic compounds. It evaluates each step of the analytical workflow, including sample collection, preparation, analysis, and data processing, and concludes with recommendations for future research to improve understanding of the early-life chemical exposome and its health implications.
Assessing the Fate of Benzophenone-Type UV Filters and Transformation Products during Soil Aquifer Treatment: The Biofilm Compartment as Bioaccumulator and Biodegrader in Porous Media Sònia Jou-Claus, Paula Rodríguez-Escales, Lurdes Martínez-Landa, M. Silvia Diaz-Cruz, Jesús Carrera, Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Gerard Quintana, Cristina Valhondo Environmental Science and Technology, 2024 The fate of selected UV filters (UVFs) was investigated in two soil aquifer treatment (SAT) systems, one supplemented with a reactive barrier containing clay and vegetable compost and the other as a traditional SAT reference system. We monitored benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and its transformation products (TPs), including benzophenone-1 (BP-1), 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone (4DHB), 4-hydroxybenzophenone (4HB), and 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (DHMB), along with benzophenone-4 (BP-4) and avobenzone (AVO) in all involved compartments (water, aquifer sediments, and biofilm). The reactive barrier, which enhances biochemical activity and biofilm development, improved the removal of all detected UVFs in water samples. Among monitored UVFs, only 4HB, BP-4, and AVO were detected in sediment and biofilm samples. But the overall retained amounts were several orders of magnitude larger than those dissolved. These amounts were quantitatively reproduced with a specifically developed simple analytical model that consists of a mobile compartment and an immobile compartment. Retention and degradation are restricted to the immobile water compartment, where biofilm absorption was simulated with well-known compound-specific Kow values. The fact that the model reproduced observations, including metabolites detected in the biofilm but not in the (mobile) water samples, supports its validity. The results imply that accumulation ensures significant biodegradation even if the degradation rates are very low and suggest that our experimental findings for UVFs and TPs can be extended to other hydrophobic compounds. Biofilms act as accumulators and biodegraders of hydrophobic compounds.
Efficient removal of toxicity associated to wastewater treatment plant effluents by enhanced Soil Aquifer Treatment Claudia Sanz, Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Marta Casado, Sylvia Mansilla, Lurdes Martinez-Landa, Cristina Valhondo, Ruben Gil-Solsona, Pablo Gago-Ferrero, Jose Portugal, M. Silvia Diaz-Cruz, Jesús Carrera, Benjamin Piña, Laia Navarro-Martín Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2024 The regeneration of wastewater has been recognized as an effective strategy to counter water scarcity. Nonetheless, Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) effluents still contain a wide range of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) even after water depuration. Filtration through Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) systems has proven efficient for CECs removal although the attenuation of their associated biological effects still remains poorly understood. To evaluate this, three pilot SAT systems were monitored, two of them enhanced with different reactive barriers. SATs were fed with secondary effluents during two consecutive campaigns. Fifteen water samples were collected from the WWTP effluent, below the barriers and 15 m into the aquifer. The potential attenuation of effluent-associated biological effects by SATs was evaluated through toxicogenomic bioassays using zebrafish eleutheroembryos and human hepatic cells. Transcriptomic analyses revealed a wide range of toxic activities exerted by the WWTP effluents that were reduced by more than 70% by SAT. Similar results were observed when HepG2 hepatic cells were tested for cytotoxic and dioxin-like responses. Toxicity reduction appeared partially determined by the barrier composition and/or SAT managing and correlated with CECs removal. SAT appears as a promising approach to efficiently reduce effluent-associated toxicity contributing to environmental and human health preservation. Regenerated Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP) effluents have been proposed as a reliable and valuable source of water supply. Nonetheless, there are several biological risks attached to the reuse of WWTP wastewater due to its hazardous nature. Without adequate regeneration practices, the exposure to untreated wastewater could potentially translate into wild-life and human exposures to a wide range of pollutants. Our work demonstrates the efficiency of enhanced Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) systems in removing WWTP effluent-associated toxicity, highly reducing this associated risk.
Factors driving PPCPs uptake by crops after wastewater irrigation and human health implications Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Gerard Quintana, M. Silvia Diaz-Cruz Environmental Research, 2023 per inhabitant/year. These water resources are regularly used in agriculture worldwide to overcome water shortages. Such a practice, however, entails the uptake of waterborne pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), by crops and their further access to the food web, constituting an additional route of human exposure to PPCPs, with potential health outcomes. In this study, the occurrence of 56 PPCPs in tomatoes, lettuce, and carrot, together with soil and irrigation water, was evaluated using a QuEChERS-based methodology for extraction and LC-MS/MS for analysis. The influence of the selected cultivation conditions on the plant uptake levels of PPCPs was assessed. Two irrigation water qualities (secondary and tertiary treatment effluents), two soil compositions (sandy and clayey), two irrigation systems (dripping and sprinkling), and three crop types (lettuce, tomato, and carrot) were tested. Carrots showed the highest load of PPCPs (7787 ng/g dw), followed by tomatoes (1692 ng/g dw) and lettuces (1248 ng/g dw). The most translocated PPCPs were norfluoxetine (fluoxetine antidepressant main metabolite) (521 ng/g dw), and the anti-inflammatory diclofenac (360 ng/g dw). Nine PPCPs, are reported to be accumulated in crops for the first time. Water quality was the most important factor for reducing PPCPs' plant uptake. Overall, the best conditions for reducing PPCP uptake by crops were irrigation with reclaimed water by sprinkling in soils with higher clay content. The risk assessment performed revealed that the crops' consumption posed no risk to human health. This study serves as the first comprehensive assessment of the relevance of diverse cultivation factors on PPCPs' plant uptake under field agricultural practices.
Using integrative samplers to estimate the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in a WWTP and by soil aquifer treatment enhanced with a reactive barrier Adrià Sunyer-Caldú, Barbara Benedetti, Cristina Valhondo, Lurdes Martínez-Landa, Jesús Carrera, Marina Di Carro, Emanuele Magi, M. Silvia Diaz-Cruz Science of the Total Environment, 2023 The need and availability of freshwater is a major environmental issue, aggravated by climate change. It is necessary to find alternative sources of freshwater. Wastewater could represent a valid option but requires extensive treatment to remove wastewater-borne contaminants, such as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). It is urgent to develop not only sustainable and effective wastewater treatment techniques, but also water quality assessment methods. In this study, we used polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) to investigate the presence and abatement of contaminants in an urban wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and in soil aquifer treatment (SAT) systems (a conventional one and one enhanced with a reactive barrier). This approach allowed us to overcome inter-day and intraday variability of the wastewater composition. Passive sampler extracts were analyzed to investigate contamination from 56 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Data from the POCIS were used to estimate PPCPs' removal efficiency along the WWTP and the SAT systems. A total of 31 compounds, out of the 56 investigated, were detected in the WWTP influent. Removal rates along WWTP were highly variable (16-100 %), with benzophenone-3, benzophenone-1, parabens, ciprofloxacin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen as the most effectively removed chemicals. The two SAT systems yielded much higher elimination rates than those achieved through the primary and secondary treatments together. The SAT system that integrated a reactive barrier, based on sustainable materials to promote enhanced elimination of CECs, was significantly more efficient than the conventional one. The removal of the recalcitrant carbamazepine and its epoxy- metabolite was especially remarkable in this SAT, with removal rates between 69-81 % and 63-70 %, respectively.
