Serra Compte, Albert (Date of defense: 2021-03-26)
Antibiotic residues in the environment are amongst the most concerning micropollutants due to their potential impact on the natural ecosystems and human health. In this thesis, laboratory and field studies were conducted ...
Feixas Geronès, Ferran (Date of defense: 2011-02-04)
Interactions between electrons determine the structure and properties of matter from molecules to solids. Therefore, the understanding of the electronic structure of molecules will enable us to extract relevant chemical ...
Ferrando Climent, Laura (Date of defense: 2016-11-28)
In order to evaluate the increasing environmental and human risk of anticancer drugs in the environment, more information needs to be gathered about their presence, their toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence. In ...
Guillaumes Domènech, Laia (Date of defense: 2015-06-15)
This thesis presents different studies on hydrogen bonds that occur between two molecules. It is because of the biological importance of DNA that the base pairs, and other compounds with similar hydrogen bonds as these ...
Gusmaroli, Lucia (Date of defense: 2020-05-25)
The presence of xenobiotics - such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds and pesticides - in the aquatic environment has risen great environmental concern due to their high toxicity even at ...
