MULTIRESIDUE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PPCPS IN BEETROOT CROPSUSING QUECHERS BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY-TRIPLE QUADRUPOLE TANDEM MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

Presence of unregulated and not assessed organic microcontaminants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in wastewater effluents represents a significant challenge to wastewater reclamation, especially if intended for human consumption or irrigation practices. It is widely accepted that due to the insufficient treatments for PPCPs at WWTPs, certain fractions of these contaminants are discharged in effluents and then are introduced into agroecosystems through land application of manure and biosolids, as well as crop irrigation with reclaimed water.
