    Assessment of the impact of aquaculture facilities on transplanted mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis): Integrating plasticizers and physiological analyses as a biomonitoring strategy
    (Elsevier, 2022-02-15) Rios Fuster, Beatriz; Alomar, Carme; Capó, Xavier; Silva, Mónica; Solé, Montserrat; Freitas, Rosa; Deudero, Salud; Paniagua González, Gema; Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    The growing plastic production and its continuous use is a significant problem. In addition, aquaculture practices have experienced a considerable growth and plastic is widely used in these activities, hence plasticizers must be considered due to their potential ecotoxicological impacts on species. Mussels placed inside an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) system and at two control locations were employed to quantify the ingestion of anthropogenic particles and associated chemical plasticizers, such as bisphenol A (BPA) jointly to bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates represented by diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). In addition, some metabolism and oxidative stress related parameters were measured in mussels’ whole soft tissue. Anthropogenic particle ingestion of mussels increased over time at the three locations and the following order of abundance of pollutants was observed: BPA> BPF> DEHP> DBP> BPS> DEP. Even though no differences according to location were found for pollutants’ occurrence, time trends were evidenced for BPA and DEHP. On the other hand, a location effect was observed for biomarkers with highest values detected in mussels located at the vicinities of the aquaculture facility. In addition, a reduced detoxification activity was observed over time parallel to BPA decrease.

    Development of a molecularly imprinted polymeric membrane for determination of macrolide antibiotics from cow milk
    (Elsevier, 2022-05-17) Cañadas Soler, Raquel; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    A molecular imprinted membrane (MIM) was prepared for the selective binding of macrolide antibiotics by UV-initiated non-covalent imprinting approach . The membrane was modified by a UV - photographting technique in the presence of molecule templates of erythromycin (ERY) and spiramycin (SPI) with methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinker. The nanofunctionalized MIM obtained was characterized by a morphological study using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), as well as by a study of its adsorption capacity by online solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure. Variables affecting the MIM-SPE method were optimized to maximize the extraction of macrolide antibiotics of interest and a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used for the analysis. Good linearity and precision were obtained for ERY and SPI, with average recoveries up to 86.14 % and 34.73 %, respectively, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 6 %. In addition, selectivity was studied for other macrolides with similar structure to the templates, such as roxithromycin (ROX), josamycin (JOS), ivermectin (IVER) and tylosin (TYL). The proposed MIM-SPE-HPLC methodology was effectively applied to ERY and SPI determination in commercial doped semi-skimmed cow’s milk samples.

    Occurrence of common plastic additives and contaminants in mussel samples: Validation of analytical method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion
    (Elsevier, 2021-07) Cañadas Soler, Raquel; Garrido Gamarro, Esther; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    A new matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction methodology, combined with high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with a diode-array detector, was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of 10 compounds in mussels from Galician Rias (Spain). These pollutants are compounds commonly used for plastic production as additives, as well as common plastic contaminants. The compounds selected were bisphenol-A, bisphenol-F, bisphenol-S, nonylphenol-9, nonylphenol, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, di-2ethylhexyl phthalate, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene. The parameters affecting the MSPD extraction efficiency such as the type of sorbent, mass sample-sorbent ratio, and extraction solvent were optimised . The proposed method provided satisfactory quantitative recoveries (80‒100%), with relative standard deviations lower than 7%. In all cases, the matrix-matched calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 0.32-120.00 µg/kg, with quantification limits of 0.25‒16.20 µg/kg. The novel developed MSPD-high-performance liquid chromatography methodology provided good sensitivity, accuracy, and repeatability for quality control analysis in mussels.

    Selective extraction of diazepam and its metabolites from urine samples by a molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) method
    (MDPI, 2024-02) Gil Tejedor, Ana María; Bravo Yagüe, Juan Carlos; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    In this research, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using oxazepam (OZ) as a template molecule and was subsequently applied as a selective sorbent for the extraction of diazepam (DZP) and its metabolites in urine samples using an SPE cartridge. OZ, temazepam (TZ), nordiazepam (NZ) and DZP were analyzed in the final extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). The SPE extraction steps were optimized, and the evaluation of an imprinting factor was carried out. The selectivity of the method for OZ versus structurally related benzodiazepines (BZDs), such as bromazepam (BRZ), tetrazepam (TTZ) and halazepam (HZ), was investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the proposed methodology provided good linearity in the range of 10–1500 ng/mL, with limit of detection values between 13.5 and 21.1 ng/mL and recovery levels for DZP and its metabolites from 89.0 to 93.9% (RSD ≤ 8%) at a concentration level of 1000 ng/mL. The proposed method exhibited good selectivity, precision and accuracy and was applied to the analysis of urine samples from a real case of DZP intake.

    Enhancement of a Simple, Economic and Eco-Friendly Analytical Approach for the Extraction and Determination of Endocrine Disruptors from Plastics in Shrimp
    (MDPI, 2024-07-12) Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; García González, Jorge; Paniagua González, Gema; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª; Bravo Yagüe, Juan Carlos; Fernández Hernando, Pilar
    The economic significance of the shrimp industry relies heavily on the comprehensive utilization of all of the shrimp’s parts. However, this importance is often threatened by common challenges such as disease and pollution, caused by prominent contaminants that are capable of exerting adverse effects either directly as physical pollutants or indirectly through the incorporation of additives or adsorbed chemicals. Among these substances are endocrine disruptors, which pose risks to both wildlife and human populations. In this study, 11 endocrine-disrupting compounds were determined (3 bisphenols, 3 phthalates, 3 pesticides, and 2 nonylphenols) through the development of a cost-effective, greener and cost-friendly method based on solid-phase matrix dispersion (MSPD) with high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD). Determinations were performed on different parts of the shrimp: the cephalothorax, abdomen, intestine and shell. Several variables were optimized in the extraction, separation and detection phases, resulting in average recoveries of about 90%. The limit of detection (LOD) varies depending on the analyte and matrix. At concentrations of 1 mg/kg in the cephalothorax+shells and 1.25 mg/kg in the abdomen+intestine, all compounds were detected, except for nonylphenols. The developed method has allowed the simultaneous determination of 11 endocrine disruptors in different parts of the shrimp samples. Furthermore, the MSPD has been demonstrated to be an efficacious, selective, and streamlined sample extraction method, eliminating the necessity for pretreatment steps such as centrifugation and filtration, as well as the use of large volumes of solvents.

    Identification and morphological characterization of different types of plastic microparticles
    (Elsevier, 2024-05-15) Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Paniagua González, Gema; Muñoz Arnanz, Juan; Bravo Yagüe, Juan Carlos; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    The knowledge of the polymeric composition of microplastics (MPs) is interesting because offers useful information on the resistance, durability, and degradability of these materials, also allowing progress in the control of this contamination. However, there is currently a lack of reliable standardized methods for the identification, and characterization of the plastic microparticles. This work uses different techniques in a complementary manner for the identification, and characterization of MPs that more frequently are found in the environment. A total of 10 types of plastics were collected (polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PETE), polyethylene (PE), high- and low-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE, respectively), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyamide (PA, Nylon 6,6) and poly-carbonate (PC)) and their chemical identification were analyzed by reflectance-attenuated infrared (FTIR-ATR). Furthermore, the samples were observed using light microscopy, and scan-ning electron microscopy (SEM). Also, staining with 12 different dyes was performed to improve the identification of microplastics. The results of this study revealed that PETE, PE, HDPE and LDPE, whose SEM images exhibited smoothness and flat uniformity of their surface, were not (or less) susceptible to adsorb staining solutions while PP, PA, PVC, and PTFE, were capable of adsorbing the dye solutions.

    Synthesis and characterization of a molecularly imprinted polymer for the determination of spiramycin in sheep milk
    (Elsevier, 2017-04-15) Durand Alegría, J.S.; García Mayor, M Asunción; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    A series of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) comprising reactionary sites which are complementary to macrolide antibiotic spiramycin (SPI) were synthetized by noncovalent bulk polymerization technique. MIPs were synthesized under different polymerization process and their recognition efficiency was evaluated in binding studies in comparison with non-imprinted polymers. The best MIP was morphologically characterized and equilibrium assays were carried out. The MIP was evaluated as a sorbent for extraction and preconcentration of SPI from aqueous and sheep milk samples, and an off-line MISPE method followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV diode-array detection was established. Good linearity were obtained for SPI in a range of 24–965 μg kg−1 and the average recoveries at three spiked levels in milk samples were higher than 90% (RSD < 5%). Limit of quantification was 24.1 μg kg−1. Cross-reactivity studies from other macrolides with similar structure were tested. The optimum imprinted polymer showed a good selectivity and affinity for SPI, demonstrating the potential of the proposed MISPE for rapid, sensitive and effective sample pretreatment for selective determination of SPI in sheep milk samples.

    Occurrence of common plastic additives and contaminants in raw, steamed and canned mussel samples from different harvesting areas using MSPDHPLC methodology
    (Elsevier, 2024-04) Garrido Gamarro, Esther; Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    Microplastics are a complex mix of chemicals containing polymers and certain plastic additives such as bisphenols and phthalates. These particles are porous materials that can also sorb contaminants from their surroundings, and leach chemicals from the particle under certain circumstances. Aquatic animals can ingest microplastic particles, which mostly bioaccumulate in the gastrointestinal tract of animals. In terms of dietary exposure, small animals consumed whole such as mussels, contribute more to the dietary intake of microplastic particles. Plastic additives and contaminants are not chemically bound to the polymers, and certain processing methods or cooking processes result in the release of these chemicals that leach from the plastic particles, leaving them more available for absorption when ingested. Analytical methods are crucial for a better understanding of the occurrence of plastic additives and contaminants in aquatic products, and to know certain circumstances and treatments that influence human exposure. This study uses an MSPD-HPLC methodology for the simultaneous determination of 9 analytes (BPA, BPF, BPS, DEP, DBP, DEHP, DDD, DDT, and DDE) analyzing, for the first time, the occurrence of these chemicals in raw, steamed and canned mussels of two different harvesting areas (Atlantic and the Mediterranean), becoming one of the most efficient methodologies for determining the presence of these analytes in very complex food matrices, able to define the changes in cooking and processing activities. The results showed that the heat and pressure treatment could influence the migration of plastic additives from microplastic particles present in mussels to the cooking liquids.

    (Elsevier, 2015-04) Soledad Rodríguez, Beatriz Elena; Durand Alegría, Jesús Senén; García Mayor, M Asunción::virtual::2783::600; Paniagua González, Gema::virtual::2784::600; Fernández Hernando, Pilar::virtual::2785::600; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª::virtual::6721::600; García Mayor, M Asunción; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª; García Mayor, M Asunción; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª; García Mayor, M Asunción; Paniagua González, Gema; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    The paper describes a new and selective analytical sample treatment for quantitative extraction and preconcentration of erythromycin in presence of other macrolide antibiotics in sheep milk samples. The methodology is based on the use of a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) employed as solid phase extraction sorbent (MISPE). The synthesized material by bulk polymerization using erythromycin (ERY) as template was evaluated as solid phase extraction sorbent, in a novel sample treatment technique that can be coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD). MIP selectivity was studied for other macrolide antibiotics with similar structures, such as tylosin (TYL), spiramycin (SPI), josamycin (JOS), roxithromycin (ROX) and ivermectin (IVER) getting recoveries for these interferents lower than 35%, for all cases except for ROX, which recoveries were around 85%. The variables affecting the molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) procedure were optimized to select the best conditions of selectivity and sensitivity to determine ERY at concentration levels established by EU legislation in sheep milk. Under the selected experimental conditions, quantification limit was 24.1 µg kg−1. Recoveries were higher than 98%, with RSDs between 0.7% and 2%. The proposed MISPE-HPLC method was validated and successfully applied to ERY analysis in sheep milk samples.

    Assessing microplastic ingestion and occurrence of bisphenols and phthalates in bivalves, fish and holothurians from a Mediterranean marine protected area
    (Elsevier, 2022-08-07) Rios Fuster, Beatriz; Alomar, Carme; Deudero, Salud; Paniagua González, Gema; Soliz Rojas, Dulce Lucy; Fernández Hernando, Pilar; Garcinuño Martínez, Rosa Mª
    Microplastic (MP) ingestion, along with accumulated plasticizers such as bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F (BPF), and bisphenol S (BPS), and phthalates represented by diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), were quantified in bivalves, fish, and holothurians collected from a coastal pristine area at the western Mediterranean Sea. MP ingestion in sediment-feeders holothurians (mean value 12.67 ± 7.31 MPs/individual) was statistically higher than ingestion in bivalves and fish (mean 4.83 ± 5.35 and 3 ± 4.44 MPs/individual, respectively). The main ingested polymers were polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The levels of BPS, BPF, and DEHP were highest in bivalves' soft tissue; BPA and DBP had the highest levels in the holothurians’ muscle. In addition, the levels of all plasticizers assessed were lowest in fish muscle; only BPA levels in fish were higher than in bivalves, with intermediate values between those of bivalves and holothurians. This study provides data on exposure to MPs and plasticizers of different species inhabiting Cabrera Marine Protected Area (MPA) and highlights the differences in MP ingestion and levels of plasticizers between species with different ecological characteristics and feeding strategies.
