Applications Of High Performance Liquid Chromatography For The Study Of Emerging Organic Pollutants [aplicações De Cromatografia Líquida De Alta Eficiência Para O Estudo De Poluentes Orgânicos Emergentes]

摘要

Emerging organic pollutants (EOP) include many environmental contaminants based on commercial products such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, detergents, gasoline, polymers, etc. EOP may be candidates for future regulation as they offer potential risk to environmental and human health due to their continual entrance into the environment and to the fact that even the most modern wastewater treatment plants are not able to totally transform / remove these compounds. High performance liquid chromatography is recommended to separate emerging organic pollutants with characteristics of high polarity and low volatility, especially pharmaceuticals, from environmental matrices.
