Overview

Mira Petrovic is a researcher affiliated with the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats in Spain. Their primary field of study is Environmental Science, with a focus on pollution, health toxicology, mutagenesis, water science and technology, and environmental chemistry. The breadth of their work spans several specialized topics, including pharmaceutical and antibiotic environmental impacts, water treatment and disinfection, toxic organic pollutants impact, transplantation methods and outcomes, and the effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Their research includes notable publications on environmental contaminants and their pathways in ecosystems. Some recent papers include:

  • "Aquatic Insects Transfer Pharmaceuticals and Endocrine Disruptors from Aquatic to Terrestrial Ecosystems" (2021, Environmental Science & Technology)
  • "Occurrence and assessment of environmental risks of endocrine disrupting compounds in drinking, surface and wastewaters in Serbia" (2020, Environmental Pollution)
  • "Extended suspect screening to identify contaminants of emerging concern in riverine and coastal ecosystems and assessment of environmental risks" (2020, Journal of Hazardous Materials)
  • "Priority and emerging organic microcontaminants in three Mediterranean river basins: Occurrence, spatial distribution, and identification of river basin specific pollutants" (2020, The Science of The Total Environment)
  • "Groundwater antibiotic pollution and its relationship with dissolved organic matter: Identification and environmental implications" (2021, Environmental Pollution)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Petrovic include Meritxell Gros, Mira Čelić, Swaroop Bommareddi, S. DeVries, and J. Trahanas. These collaborations suggest an interdisciplinary approach linking environmental science with chemical analysis and toxicology.

Petrovic's work is often published in venues that focus on environmental science and pollution, with several articles appearing in The Science of The Total Environment, The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, SSRN Electronic Journal, Environmental Pollution, and Chemosphere. These venues reflect a diverse engagement with both environmental chemistry and applied health sciences.

Their main research subjects explore the environmental impact of pollutants and improvements in water treatment processes. Specific emphasis has been placed on pharmaceuticals and antibiotics' behavior in aquatic ecosystems and the implications of toxic organic microcontaminants in river basins. Further study encompasses advanced oxidation water treatment methods and the assessment of endocrine disrupting chemicals in water sources.
