The
principal
research interests of our group fall into the three interrelated research
areas of environmental, analytical and water sciences. We are particularly
interested in water pollution and novel technologies used to decrease contamination of water. Our
recent interests are related to urban water and human epidemiology. |

Emerging
micropollutants in the environment Emerging environmental contaminants including pharmaceuticals,
illicit drugs, personal care products and endocrine disruptors are a group of
compounds without well understood occurrence, fate and effects in the
environment and human h-ealth but with the potential to cause such effects.
Our research concentrates on identifying new micropollutants in environmental
matrices, understanding their fate in the environment and identifying their
possible effects on humans and the environment. This includes the development
of new analytical methodology primarily utilising liquid chromatography
coupled with mass spectrometry to identify and quantify micropollutants and
their transformation products at low ppt levels. Selected publications: Petrie,

with chiral environments such as enzymes in the body. Therefore in biological
systems they can be recognised as two different substances that elicit
different responses: one enantiomer of the same drug may produce the desired
therapeutic activity, while the other may be inactive or even toxic. The
ratio of active/inactive enantiomer of the chiral drug can change
significantly after its administration, metabolism in and excretion from the
body. It can be subsequently altered during biological wastewater treatment
and when the drug is already present in the environment. Biological processes
can lead to stereoselective enrichment or depletion of enantiomeric
composition of chiral drugs. Therefore the very same drug might reveal
different activity and toxicity and this will depend on its origin and
exposure to several factors governing its fate in the environment. Existing reports on the presence and
fate of pharmacologically active compounds, due to their non-enantioselective
analysis, do not tackle the problem of their chirality. As a result, current
understanding of environmental fate and effects of chiral drugs is limited,
might be inaccurate and misleading, as it incorrectly assumes that enantiomers
have identical environmental behaviour and toxicity. Therefore to understand
and predict the mechanisms governing the fate of chiral drugs, their possible
toxicity and impact on the environment, determination of enantiomeric
composition of chiral drugs in environmental matrices is essential and
constitutes a vital part of our research. This involves also the development
of analytical methods capable of enantiomeric separation of chiral drugs and
their application in environmental context. Selected publications: Petrie,

provide an integrated real-time profiling of community-wide health and

WATER QUALITY/ WATER
TREATMENT |
Catalytic ozonation in water treatment Ozone, due to its high oxidation and disinfection potential, has
received much attention in water treatment technology. It is applied in order
to improve taste and colour as well as to remove the organic and inorganic
compounds in water. Despite the several advantages of using ozone, it has a
few disadvantages which limit its application. The main ones are: relatively
low solubility and stability in water. Because of both the high cost of ozone
production and only partial oxidation of organic compounds present in water,
the application of ozonation might not be feasible from an economic point of
view. Advanced oxidation processes such as O3/H2O2,
UV/O3, UV/H2O2, TiO2/UV, Fentons
reagents and catalytic ozonation involve the generation of hydroxyl radicals,
which are active oxidative species. However, their reactions are not
selective and therefore more likely to be hindered by competitive reactions.
For that reason, it is also desirable to investigate new methods based on
molecular ozone reactions, which allow for both better ozone dissolution and
stability in water due to the presence of non-polar materials such as:
non-polar fluorinated hydrocarbon solvent or perfluorinated alumina. We are
currently investigating the application of metal oxides and zeolites as
heterogeneous catalysts for the ozonation of common water micropollutants. Selected publications: Ikhlaq, A., Brown, D. R. and Kasprzyk-Hordern,
