ICRA researchers Maria Pau Garcia-Moll, Francisco Zafra-Navarro, Maria Eugenia Valdés, Sara Rodriguez-Mozaz, Meritxell Gros, Nonito Ros-Berja, Nick Duinslaeger, Jelena Radjenovic, and Mira Celic took part in the 19th International Conference on Chemistry and the Environment (ICCE 2025), held in Belgrade (Serbia) from June 8 to 12, 2025 (https://icce2025.com/).

The main objective of the conference was to deepen the understanding of the cycle, fate, and environmental effects of pollutants in order to advance pollution prevention and waste management.

ICRA presented the following scientific contributions in oral and poster formats:

• – Garcia-Moll, M., Beral, H., Alonso, L., Santos, L.H.M.L.M., Buttiglieri, G., Comas, J., Rodriguez-Mozaz, S. Toward Safer Water Reuse: Assessing the Bioaccumulation and Transformation of Plastic Additives in Hydroponic Plant Systems.
• – Zafra-Navarro, F; Schum, S; Martí, S; Emiliano, P; Petrović, M; Farré, M.J. Target and non-target high-resolution mass spectrometry approaches for assessing changes in dissolved organic matter and disinfection byproduct formation during drinking water treatment.
• – Valdés, M.E.; Wołącewicz, M.; Sacristán-Soriano, O.; Tapu, L.; Galben, L.; Balcázar, J.L.; Lomelí-Ortega, C.O.; Todiras, M.; Ferdohleb, A.; Dziewit, L.; Rodríguez-Mozaz, S.; Borrego Moré, C.
