Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
Reid, Antoinette; Brougham, Concepta; Fogarty, Andrew M; Roche, James J. (Elsevier, 2009-02-23)Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ... -
Analysis of bio-obtainable endocrine disrupting metals in river water and sediment, sewage influent/effluent, sludge, leachate, and concentrated leachate, in the Irish Midlands Shannon catchment.
Reid, Antoinette; Brougham, Concepta; Fogarty, Andrew M; Roche, James J. (Hindawi, 2009-12)The application of an acid digestion and subsequent solid-phase extraction (SPE) procedure were implemented as preliminary treatments prior to quantifying the levels of potentially endocrine disrupting metals (EDMs) in a ... -
The detection of endocrine disrupting chemicals leaching from reusable plastic water bottles.
Brennan, Claire; Lane, Eileen; Brougham, Concepta (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2016)Endocrine disruption is a particular form of toxicity, where natural and/or endogenous compounds, known as “Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals”, cause adverse health effects by resulting in disruption to the endogenous hormone ... -
An investigation into possible sources of phthalate contamination in the environmental analytical laboratory.
Reid, Antoinette; Brougham, Concepta; Fogarty, Andrew M.; Roche, James J. (Taylor & Francis Online, 2007-02)A study of common laboratory equipment and components was performed in order to identify sources of contamination of phthalates prior to testing environmental samples for such compounds. A screening study revealed significant ... -
Isocractic LC methods for the trace analysis of phthalates and 4-nonylphenol in varying types of landfill and adjacent run-offs.
Reid, Antoinette; Brougham, Concepta; Fogarty, Andrew M; Roche, James J. (Taylor & Francis Online, 2007-07)To determine the levels of known endocrine disrupting chemicals such as phthalates and alkylphenols in environmental samples such as leachate water and sediment, suitable isocratic high performance liquid chromatographic ...
