Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) have emerged as replacements for banned brominated flame retardants, raising growing environmental concern due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and toxicity. Despite their global detection, limited data exist for marine environments such as the Black Sea, where monitoring is hindered by the lack of sensitive analytical methods. This study reports the development and validation of a reliable LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of eight OPFRs an...

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a cytostatic drug prescribed at large scale, which proved to induce toxic effect on ecosystems and cannot be removed by conventional wastewater treatment processes. Therefore, there is a need to test advanced degradation processes for its removal from wastewater discharges. CP photocatalytic degradation via UV-VIS irradiation was studied using a Nitrogen -doped TiO2 catalyst. The catalyst was synthesized as thin film deposited on glass substrate under nitrogen atmosphere technique. The inf...
