High-speed on-line LC-MS/MS analysis of pharmaceuticals in the environment using overlapping injections
Pharmaceuticals comprise a group of emerging contaminants which have received considerable attention in recent years. Many common drugs can be found in the environment and sometimes even in drinking water. These drugs and their metabolites get into the waste water through excretion via the urine or feces and may reach surface water, groundwater and also drinking water after the passage in the sewage treatment plants. Conventional sewage treatment plants are failing to eliminate the biodegradable substances completely. Many of these compounds are ubiquitous, persistent and biologically active with recognized endocrine-disruption functions. Paying attention to the hazardous nature of these compounds, it is essential to provide fast and sensitive multi-residue methods that are able to analyze multiple substance classes within one analytical procedure.
